SHORTCUTS Inclusive Community • Term 3

19 July The College gathered for a special assembly, where students received Academic Excellence awards and were recognised for exceptional sporting achievements.

29 July It was the start of the celebrations for NAIDOC Week at the College. At recess our Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) students presented message sticks to their mates, inviting them to their Bring a friend to AIME breakfast.

3 August

6 August

Magic was happening in the Library, with Harry Potter Week well underway. Our young gentlemen celebrated with Harry Potter’s Birthday Cake, where one borrowed book was the cost of a slice. Fantastic to see so many boys getting involved and hopefully the charm of reading continues after the cake is gone.

Our Year 12 Biology and Human Biology students had the opportunity to conduct some experiments in the world-class laboratory at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. The excursion gave the boys an opportunity to put into practice the biotechnology methods they have been learning about in class.

12 August Six eager Year 12 boys took a brave step in giving back to the community, donating blood for the first time at the South Fremantle Donor Centre. Each donation saves three lives, only takes 15 minutes and includes a free snack and drink at the end.

11 August Boys from Years 8 and 9 spent a day in the fresh air under the guidance of some of their older peers, as part of today’s ACC Lightning Carnival. Braving the blustery weather, CBC fielded teams in basketball, frisbee, soccer, football and rugby.

18 August Congratulations to Hugo Pollard who won first prize for his work, Ashtray, at this year’s Catholic Arts Angelico Exhibition in the Years 11 and 12 drawing category.

The group spent the day baking hundreds of slices of cake for the occasion, before decorating them and serving to the community.

16 September Congratulations to our boys for coming first place overall at the ACC B Division Athletics Carnival. Our gentlemen battled it out in wet and wild conditions and can hold their heads high after a fantastic day of competition and sportsmanship.

21 September Our boys blew us away with their display of dedication and talent at the CBC Music Festival.

27 September 24 September It’s always an emotional day when we farewell our Year 12 boys.

Congratulations to our Year 9/10 Water Polo teams, who represented us with pride at the School Sport WA Carnival. Our A Team went undefeated all day, finishing with a decisive 9–1 victory against John XXIII in their final game. Our two other teams performed exceptionally well, demonstrating outstanding sportsmanship both in and out of the pool.

An expression of a faith community. FOREWORD MR CRAIG WATTAM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EDMUND RICE EDUCATION AUSTRALIA

There is so much to celebrate at CBC Fremantle, and indeed in every one of our EREA schools across the nation. I have had the privilege to visit many of our schools in the last year, and to speak with the young people who attend them. They never fail to impress me with who they are, how they describe their learning, and their love for their school. Our students are also acutely aware that they belong to a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition – a community within a larger community that stretches across many countries of the globe and unites us in common purpose, to be called to action to make this world a better place by the message and person of Jesus. As this year commenced, I hoped that I would not have to refer to COVID-19 because it would have been relegated to our recent history. Alas, we were still grappling with outbreaks of the virus and lived and learned through constant and sometimes extended lockdowns. I appreciate that this has taken its toll

on so many in our school communities, and has affected how we live, relate, and engage in schooling. I offer my congratulations to our students and young people who have been so ready to adapt, to remain engaged, and who are determined to get the most out of school despite the many challenges. I also offer enormous gratitude and thanks to our staff. I have always known that those who choose to work in school education work hard, but the last two years have evidenced for me time and again the true selflessness and vocation that belongs to this work. In education, we often speak about the primary role of parents and carers as the first educators of their children. When a student enters an Edmund Rice school, it is not only the child who is welcomed into the community, but indeed the whole family. Our partnership with parents and carers is so important to us. The support and interest that families demonstrate in their local community never ceases to impress me with the value that we all


share in belonging to a group that is bigger than ourselves, to an expression of a faith community, and to a shared belief in the power of an education to liberate. I offer my thanks to our parents and carers for the contributions that each has made in making our school community a vibrant place. For those young men who are taking their leave from CBC this year, I offer every blessing and best wishes. My sincere hope is that they will be moved to action to use their gifts and skills to effect a change in the world for the better. May the inspiration of Blessed Edmund Rice and the living out of the Gospel move them to look out for those who are marginalised in our world, give of their time as well as their resources, and motivate others in their world to do the same. There is much happening in our world right now that can cause us to become glum, if not distressed. Yet, as a faith-filled Catholic community, we remain hope-filled. May the birth of the Christ-child bring joy, peace and happiness.

Constantly reassessing the possibilities. AWARDS EVENING ADDRESS MR DOMENIC BURGIO PRINCIPAL

For each of the past five years, the Awards Evening address from the Principal has focussed on the attributes of the CBC gentleman. Derived from the College’s Journey Document, the attributes of the CBC gentleman explicitly detail the aspirations we have for all our graduates. In my recent Leavers’ interviews, very few of the boys could recite the attributes, yet all agreed, when asked to do a self-assessment, that they had either formed or were on the way to forming those attributes. They are indeed an important element of a CBC Fremantle boys’ education. The Journey Document was conceived with a backwards-mapping mindset. An explicit understanding of the destination means that one eye can always be on where we intend to be with the graduate, and plan for the hiccups along the way. I guess, in my mind, what the Journey Document has been able to do for our boys and families is a bit like what my GPS does for my car navigation. I punch in the destination and am immediately given three or four possibilities. One may take a few more minutes, but takes the scenic route. Another might seem the most efficient, but doesn’t consider traffic. Either way, what happens is if I make the wrong turn, decide to go up this street instead of that or need to deviate because I’m picking someone up, the GPS simply re-calculates and provides me a new option, taking into consideration where I have come from and also, more importantly, where I am going to. This is how I see the College as it partners with our families to help form the best possible young man. A constant reassessing of the possibilities to match his needs, but with an explicit aspiration that is the CBC gentleman. At CBC Fremantle, the entire staff see it as an honour that our community chooses us to assist in the formation of these beautiful boys. Indeed, in my view there can be no greater honour afforded someone than to ask them to help parent another’s son. On occasion at enrolment interviews I am told by parents that they are looking at alternatives, and that in those interviews at other schools it is made clear that success in obtaining a place should be viewed as an honour for

the family. That is the opposite of the view of this College. It is for this reason I wish to take a few minutes talking about an essential element of CBC success, and that is the parents. When I became the Vice Principal of CBC Fremantle, I was flown to Melbourne for a leaders’ induction. I can’t remember most of what was presented but I will never forget this quote from a former Rector of a well-known Catholic school. There can be no doubt that the ability of a Catholic school to bring to life the gifts and talents of a child, to create an ethical and formal network within which she/he can make decisions, and the ability to strengthen her/his faith, will indeed produce rich assets that will empower that child forever. I readily acknowledge that schools cannot meet all the needs or aspirations of society. They cannot replace the fundamental role of families and communities in the formation of young people. However, schools do play a critically important part in the building of the character of young people and therefore the character of society. A school confronts a never-to-be-resolved contradiction: it must fulfil the expectations of those it serves if it is to survive, but it must change those expectations if it is to be truly educational. It is this last line that is our point of difference as a school and community. Tonight I want to focus on our parents and carers, who are the source of so much of my inspiration and hopefully the inspiration of my colleagues. From the moment we meet in my office it is clear that our parents have an explicit motive for enrolling their sons. The most common answer to why

12

|

CBC JOURNEY 2021

our parents choose CBC is that they are seeking a partner, not an adversary, who shares their values 24/7, not just during school hours, to help form their son into the best possible version of himself. Often, parents tell me that learning and being supported in the letting go of their boy so that he can develop into an adult is also an important outcome they are seeking.

their own children because the emotional connection may create a blind spot.

In my career, I have met many, many parents. I think I’ve developed a repertoire of what constitutes a helpful parent and what the characteristics are of an "A school that is Christ-centred, unhelpful parent, albeit often well-meaning. Since I started student-focussed, high school 50 years ago, I and explicit in its undertakings believe society has continually and aspiration is bonded lowered the bar on the challenges and expectations by its relationships and has faced by adolescents and but one purpose – to form yet there has not been a commensurate lowering of the the best possible version responsibilities of adulthood – of its graduates so that far from it. Housing affordability, security of work, social media, they are ready to thrive in the secularisation of society a most imperfect world." and the positioning of all members of our society as consumers have not made the exigencies of adulthood easier. The story I have regaled many of you Despite this, the default still exists that with over the years, and which decorum parents often raise their children for a prevents me from repeating, is understood perfect world. Sorting out what happens overwhelmingly by our parents. It forms online, making sure everything that the first step in ‘changing the prevalent occurs in any situation has been achieved parent expectation’ that has developed perfectly before any scrutiny is placed on over the past few decades. In that story, their child, and even taking their child’s I relate how I don’t argue with my doctor side in the wildest of tales without any because he is the medical expert, yet many interrogation or consideration of the facts Australians think they are an educational has become de rigueur in schools. expert because they went to school. That model is akin to someone becoming an In my experience, unhelpful parenting engineer because they drive over the occurs when a parent starts a sentence Narrows Bridge. Even in the cases where with ‘my son doesn’t lie.’ I’ve yet to meet our parents are educators, they understand an adult who doesn’t lie, let alone a child that the best surgeons don’t operate on


whose psychology is not primed for avoiding responsibility. It’s not necessarily a lie, but a 12-year-old’s perspective cannot be taken as the gospel. JFK was assassinated in front of hundreds of people, yet many of those who were in Dealey Plaza that day saw different things. Point of view is important, as is natural justice. Helpful parents give low-key responses when their child reports something, and then get the school and the teacher’s version before acting. Parents who excuse, or make excuses for, every behaviour of their child are not helpful. Parents who are not aligned to the vison and mission of the school they have their child in are not helpful. Parents who talk their child’s school and school staff down are not helpful. Most importantly, parents who do not model in actions, attitudes and language the values they want to see in their child’s formation are not helpful. That is not to say parents cannot disagree with what happens at their child’s school, but the method and reason for the disagreement should not confuse their child or be incongruent with the values and skills they are seeking for their child. I hope our parents are feeling as proud of their sons tonight as I am feeling of them. I rarely, if ever, meet an unhelpful CBC parent. Overwhelmingly, CBC parents emulate the aspiration we have for their son: a CBC parent forms attitudes and actions based on Gospel Values, a CBC parent does their best, a CBC parent is accountable, a CBC parent is selfless and forms mutually beneficial relationships, and finally, a CBC parent values the other. That is the recipe for success at CBC Fremantle, with parents and staff explicitly on the same page, leaving the boys with nowhere to go. It is the reason our boys

finish so beautifully; it is the reason we have total confidence in inviting boys who have left the College back for the Ball and to the Graduation ceremony, and it is the reason so many employers seek our graduates. Recently, I was with one of my colleagues who took a call from their school. Apparently some senior boys, all good friends, had been mucking around. The mucking around led to a stacks-onthe-mill and one of the boys was injured. It was a moment of silliness but, like these moments often do, had serious consequences. The school staff were quick on the scene, provided every care and first aid and did their best to deal with a situation not of their making, not on their curriculum and certainly not of their choice. And yet the parent of the injured boy went to war, and the enemy was the school. Where were the duty staff? How could this happen? I’m suing the school. Lawyers involved from day one, and immediate bad-mouthing of the school to the media. A whole week went by and it only got worse. I’m not sure how it ended up, but I saw that there were no winners. I use the following example as a comparison. This year, one of our boys had a physical altercation with another. The aggressor was suspended. His family’s response to the incident was: ‘Mr Burgio, we fully accept our son’s sanction and will support and understand should you decide he cannot return to the College. His actions do not represent our family and our values and everyone has a right to be safe at CBC Fremantle.’ No excuses, no ‘where’s the forgiveness’, no excuses or attempts to diminish, contextualise or dilute the actions of their son – just accountability.

The family of the boy who was assaulted also had some feedback. ‘Mr Burgio, we understand the need for a sanction for the boy who assaulted our son, but we do not under any circumstances want him to be asked to leave the College. He has made a mistake that, although serious, can be remedied, and ask that the College forgive him as we have and as we would hope would happen should our son make a mistake. We have spoken to our son about the lesson he should take away from the incident. Although the actions of the other boy were not commensurate with the provocation, our son should not have knocked the drink out of the other boy’s hand and our son should not have got back in the other boy’s face once the situation had calmed. It is a lesson we hope he takes into his future life and hope it has prepared him for the realities he may face into that future.’ If there was ever helpful parenting on display, that was a quintessential example. It is typical of my daily interactions with our parents, and for that I thank all of them from the bottom of my heart. A school that is Christ-centred, student-focussed and explicit in its undertakings and aspiration is bonded by its relationships and has but one purpose – to form the best possible version of its graduates so that they are ready to thrive in a most imperfect world. It is the reason I love this school and the reason I love our families. I thank everyone for all the support, love and friendship extended to the College and its staff and I especially thank our parents and carers for what they do for their young men. I hope they appreciate it and you reap dividends for years to come.

Living meaningful lives for the betterment of humanity. MS JENNY KNOX VICE PRINCIPAL IDENTITY AND MISSION

Our Journey Document is a statement of hope. It articulates the aspiration that our College, in partnership with the parents as primary educators, have for the CBC gentleman. Earlier this term, our Year 12 students walked across the stage and in that moment, became graduates of the Class of 2021. Many of these young men could not faithfully articulate the five attributes of the CBC gentleman, yet they embody them. They do their best, they form actions based on Gospel Values, they are accountable, they have positive relationships and they value the other. These attributes help students to navigate life. We used to talk about how schools needed to prepare students for the future. A future we couldn’t even imagine – artificial intelligence-driven design, automation, data mining, social media, virtual reality, space travel, self-driving cars, digital twins and human and technological co-evolution. But this isn’t the future. This is now. And to further complicate things, we are in the midst of a global pandemic and an environmental catastrophe, both moving much faster and with more dire consequences than we could have predicted. This is the world we prepare our future leaders for – a messy, uncertain, redefined world. And not only do we prepare them, we help them to thrive as ethical and compassionate agents of change.

It is an education that fosters the ability to distinguish between not only what is true and what is false but also what is right and what is wrong; between what has value and what does not.

Our students can accrue wisdom through so many opportunities on their journey. Under a rites of passage context, our young men flex their ‘wisdom muscles’, becoming more confident and comfortable in their adult-ness. They are supported to be bold of mind and speak up, to be “At CBC Fremantle, brave of heart and stick to their our mission is to convictions.

HONOURING TODAY’S BOYS MR GARY BAILEY DEPUTY PRINCIPAL PASTORAL CARE

As hectic as this year has been, it was, as ever, an enjoyable one. Our boys have had countless opportunities to grow and develop academically, spiritually, personally and, in the case of our younger students, quite obviously physically! This year we were blessed with four new Pastoral Board members, which provided our students with even more quality attention in areas that are particularly pertinent to their needs. Ms Emer Hickey and Mr Matt Dodgson joined us as Heads of House and brought ideas and enthusiasm gained from many years working in schools. Their presence in the Heads of House office and Pastoral Board meetings was very welcome, and the sight of Mr Dodgson in his Army Reserve uniform on stage presenting the Long Tan certificates at Awards Evening added an extra touch to the celebrations. Miss Dominique Thatcher has been a wonderful addition to the College as our Psychologist working with the Academic Team. Dominique immediately sets the boys at ease

when they meet with her, and her passion for helping students is obvious. Our other new Psychologist, Mr Raffaele Guadagnino, spent many years working

“Thank you to all of my colleagues for their incredible holistic commitment to our boys, and especially thank you to the students, who have been exemplary members of our close-knit community.” with the AFL, and the boys love going for a kick on the oval with Mr G. Even students who may have been apprehensive about seeing one of our psychologists find themselves enjoying their time with Mr G, and it goes a long way towards making their school days happy and successful.

The safety and wellbeing of our young men remains our priority. The Pastoral Care team has continued to equip the boys with the essential tools to be able to initiate and engage in difficult conversations. Our RU OK Day and Mental Health Week activities, as well as many other initiatives, are orchestrated activities designed to raise awareness, promote understanding and offer some real solutions to addressing mental health concerns amongst our youth. We understand the topics can be tricky to approach, so we seek to make the boys comfortable to ask for help and guidance, to talk and share, to offer and accept support, and to be fully informed by the time they leave the College. It is hoped that this investment in their development continues to have a positive impact on their health throughout their whole life. Thank you to all of my colleagues for their incredible holistic commitment to our boys, and especially thank you to the students, who have been exemplary members of our close-knit community. We are very proud of you all.

Raising the bar in learning. MR SCOTT MCDONNELL DEPUTY PRINCIPAL TEACHING & LEARNING

According to Google, the definition of success is the status of having achieved and accomplished an aim or objective. Being successful means the achievement of a desired vision or planned goals. At CBC Fremantle, we explicitly define what academic success is and how every student can achieve this. Academic success is doing your best! e ask every student to do his best in every subject, every term, every week and every class. We ask every boy to identify his postYear 12 aspirations and we work with him to achieve his best so he can reach his goals. In 2020, 100 per cent of Year 12 students achieved their WACE graduation, all students who applied for an apprenticeship were able to secure one and every student was able to gain entry to university or TAFE. Eight young men received an ATAR of 95 and over – they were Lucas Benino, Heron Carson, Jayden Craven, Ahmad Fallah, Tomás Holohan, Archer Larwood, Ben Leavy and Jackson Young. These are outstanding results and reflect the collective effort of our partnership. The Academic Board analysed our school’s performance from 2020 and as a result introduced a number of initiatives. We implemented the Years 11 and 12 examination preparation plan to assist boys to be equipped for ATAR. The literacy programme, which focusses on writing, expanded across Years 7 to 9 and initial data suggests that this area has improved across all three cohorts. Our Years 10 to 12 literacy and numeracy programme is achieving outstanding results and our 2022 Year 12 cohort achieved 100% success on their OLNA. Learning areas continue to celebrate their academic weeks and we saw many boys engage and have fun with the variety of activities and events. The highlight was watching boys hold a wedgetail eagle for the first time and experience snakes curling

around their shoulders during Science Week – the excitement and awe on their faces was brilliant. The younger students dancing to an Italian band in the Cloisters during English and Languages Week was also a lot of fun. The Years 8 and 9 students engaged in a ‘love of learning’ project to encourage a different approach to learning, which was sometimes challenging. There were many more opportunities designed to help students to achieve their best, whatever their best may be. As a result of the dedication of our staff, the effort from students who strive to do their best, and the unconditional support of all parents, our academic results for 2021 were outstanding. Twenty-four graduating Year 12 and eleven Year 11 students were able to secure an apprenticeship. Thirty-five students who accessed our apprenticeship pathway achieved their goal. Every student who studied the VET pathway received a Certificate II, III or IV across 20 different areas. The introduction of the hybrid pathway – designed for boys who are seeking alternative entry to university where the ATAR pathway may not suit them – has seen more students engage and achieve success in their courses. The Class of 2021 achieved a median ATAR of 86.25, ranking us 25th in the state and is the College’s highest ever results. In addition, across all pathways our students achieved 100% graduation, which placed CBC Fremantle equal first in the state for WACE achievement. Every student’s academic journey is important to us and we are always reflecting on how we can improve classroom engagement and encourage personal excellence while maintaining a healthy study and life balance. When we see boys flourish, increase in confidence and show signs of a healthy transition into an adult way of thinking, we know we have achieved the CBC definition of success.

Travelling the CBC journey. MR MIKE PICKFORD DIRECTOR OF STUDENT LEADERSHIP

You may know that I am a family man. I have a wife, who I met at the annual Edmund Rice Network ball more years ago than we like to admit, and three wonderful children. The Pickfords are a solid unit and nothing gives me greater pleasure than simply being a Dad to my kids and a partner to Kellie. Nothing even comes close. From my daily dose of humble family interaction, I go forth and conquer the world. All five of us Pickfords do – off to primary school, to day care, to work – and I have been thinking about the importance of this solid yet basic foundation in life. And what keeps popping into my head is the yoga phrase, ‘ground down to rise up’. Now, I don’t ‘do yoga’ – I’m more at home on a hockey field than trying to balance in mountain pose – but this simple allegory contains a very significant meaning that I think is pertinent to the journey of our young men at CBC Fremantle. In everything we do successfully, we are required to prepare ourselves. Using familiar, school-centric examples: in sport, we train; in academics, we study; in art, we “In everything practise, and in faith we pray. We build a base of knowledge and relationships in order to draw we do successfully, on our skills and be supported when in need. we are required At the beginning of their CBC journey, the boys to prepare ourselves.” come to us with their roots packed in rich soil and tended by their parents. We water with love, faith, encouragement and discipline. We teach the skills required for their own personal brand of success. We model to them the behaviours of a good man who nurtures his people and leads with empathy. This investment in the developing young man makes roots deep and strong, so when a crisis hits he can hold firm and thrive. At CBC, we do this in so many ways. It is the CBC journey. CHOOSING CBC The Class of 2026 commenced their CBC journey a week later than scheduled due to COVID-19 restrictions. So, on Monday 8 February our Year 7 students went immediately into Transition Week, which included the really fun camp at Waroona and their Retreat on campus. These days help the boys to build relationships and that goes a long way towards making them feel comfortable and secure at their new school. It is a testament to the resilience and goodwill of this cohort that they rose to the challenge and made the most of the adventure. Activities included tackling abseiling, the flying fox, rafting, target shooting and kayaking, as well as quieter moments like stargazing and helping to keep the accommodation clean and tidy. By the time the boys returned home, with their eyes shining above their COVID face masks, new friendships had been forged and the boys were happy with both themselves and their new school. The Year 7 welcome with the Year 12 guard of honour took place the following week, and the young boys were shown around the campus by the Mentor buddies.

and bask in our mutual belonging. However, as we were forced to cancel the event due to Western Australia’s brief lockdown, we counted our community blessings in other ways. Our Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist were commissioned at a special Mass at St Patrick’s Basilica on 7 March. James Chiappini, Willem Di Prinzio, Tony Kolic, Jayden Johnson, Raphael McCrackan, Dylan McHugh, Marc Morolla, Shane Rooney, Sebastian Vogler and Griffin Williams, along with staff Miss Chloe Lynn, Miss Danielle MacDonald and Mr Jeremy Peris, received their blessing to minister the Holy Eucharist to their community. SHARE THE JOURNEY On Sunday 14 March the Parent Auxiliary was excited to be able to go ahead with Share the Journey, inviting Year 7 students and their dads and significant males to enjoy some quality time walking along the Swan River. CBC College Captain from 2019, Alex Buckland, and his dad, Shayne, spoke to the group, highlighting the important role a father figure plays in the lives of boys. The community event was wrapped up with a sausage sizzle prepared by the Parent Auxiliary and Year 12 leaders. THE RITE JOURNEY The Class of 2024 commenced the special year that symbolises their transition to becoming an adult with the Rite Journey opening ceremony on Monument Hill on 19 February. During the Calling and Departure, the Year 9 boys were urged to look back on their childhood with gratitude for the support they received from their families and turn to face their future as developing adults. The community gathered for a short liturgy before the parents symbolically handed over their sons to their Rite Journey teachers for the year of challenges and mentorship. The ceremony was followed by a special moment when the young men presented a letter of appreciation to their parents. As the sky turned pastel and the lights of the port sparkled in the dusk, the small groups drew close, relishing the warmth and connection of their family circle. It really highlighted this beautiful stage of a boy’s life that can never be captured again. Fortified with love and supported by the College’s rites of passage programme, the

Year 9 boys embarked on the unique year ahead, with activities that were aimed to build resilience, teach perseverance, promote curiosity and help them think outside the square. This year, boys were allocated specific time to complete extraordinary challenges with an initiative called ‘Task Master’, and Mr Gary Bailey’s group presented their mums with a delicious Italian feast. Formal dancing lessons were also part of the challenges, culminating in a fabulous weekend where the young men hosted their peers from Iona Presentation College for the Year 9 Social on the Friday evening, and treated their mums to a dinner and dance event on the Sunday. These dance lessons are not only fun but also informative. We are so grateful for our talented teachers who call the moves and make it all so easy, Miss Emily Bowran

“There is no greater joy than to serve those you love, and I pray you will all know the richness of this simple yet ultimate happiness.”

and Mrs Keely Laing, because, believe me, you don’t want to see Mr Bailey and me doing it! The momentous year culminated in a hike and solo camping expedition at Edmund Rice College in Bindoon, known as ‘The Abyss’. The challenge was supported by a powerful Retreat on the banks of the Swan River that highlighted love as the foundation of Jesus’ own journey to manhood and the ultimate service he provided for humanity. Spiritually and emotionally nourished by a whole year devoted towards their own personal growth, the developing gentlemen were then symbolically returned to their parents in ‘The Homecoming’ ceremony at Dyoondalup (Point Walter). Bookending the beginning of their journey,

parents presented their sons with letters of affirmation and love, and the Rite Journey programme was brought to a close together as a community. RECOMMITMENT Part of becoming an adult is understanding what your strengths and weaknesses are, and coming into the lead-up to their senior years the Year 10 students started to get serious about their future. Selecting their study pathway, discussing their options with their teachers and parents, the young men also drew on the wisdom of Deputy Principal of Teaching and Learning Mr Scott McDonnell, Head of VET Mr Garry Hart and Careers Counsellor Ms Lisa Speranza. With courses chosen, the young men recommitted to their studies and prepared for the years ahead. THE SERVANT LEADER CBC gentlemen are challenged to go out and be witnesses of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Every step of the CBC journey is choreographed to guide the young men towards living in love. This can look different for every boy, and this year we saw our servant leaders shine in so many ways. The Year 12 student leaders were thinking about the difference they could make right from the moment they stepped back on campus before school had even started, brainstorming ideas to improve all aspects of College life, particularly faith and inclusivity. Prefects were inaugurated on the first day that the whole student population commenced, and what a powerful way to start the year. Receiving their badges were College Captain Dylan McHugh, Vice Captain Raphael McCrackan, and their team of portfolio captains: James Nelson in Academics, Aston Culnane in Arts, Thomas Wilson in Community, Griffin Williams in Faith and Mission, Marcus Hayden and Aalin Mungit Houston in Indigenous Leadership, Jayden Johnson in Service and Kelly Rawlings in Sport. These leaders were ably supported by the House Captains: Charles Green and Sebastian Vogler in Kelly; Tony Kolic and Alexander Richards in Morgan; Willem Di Prinzio and Jacob Mondi in O’Connor, Clancy Dewar and Raphael McCrackan in Patrick; Mason Irving and Joseph Vykopal in Rice, and Marc Morolla and Liam Pintaudi in Samson. The Senior Student


Leadership Council members were Joseph Bunn, James Chiappini, Joe Elliot-Tideman, Lachlan Klingberg, Sebastien Letizia, Brayden Pounder, James Rock, Kyle van Den Hurk and Samuel Yau. The Class of 2021 were excellent role models for the younger students and in Term 3 were thrilled to move across the road to their own facility. In Year 11, interested students explored their own unique skills at Leadership Camp and others took on the incredible spiritual challenge of Kairos. The College Captain candidates presented their leadership speeches, and Luke Bowyer and Ellis Grant were elected by their peers and staff as the Captain and Vice Captain for 2022. GRADUATION On Friday 22 October, the Class of 2021 crossed the stage to write their names in the CBC graduation book that contains the signatures of hundreds of alumni before them. Eight young men who entered into apprenticeships during or before their final year joined their peers on stage, honouring the different paths our young men take on their journey to success. Thomas Dark and Ryan Bowater presented speeches that described symbols of their journey, with Thomas choosing a spotlight and Ryan describing the elements of a painting. Dylan McHugh spoke about the bond of the young men who sat before him in his College Captain’s address, and Mr Domenic Burgio spoke of the solid foundation that our parents build for their sons, whereby the College merely continues their good work. It’s the ground work – the ‘grounding down’ in order for the young men to ‘rise up’ and go out to make the world a better place. Like Mr Burgio, I urge tomorrow’s gentlemen to stay close to their families and loved ones, to choose their friendships wisely, and bring honour to their parents. There is no greater joy than to serve those you love, and I pray you will all know the richness of this simple yet ultimate happiness.

We are blessed to be Edmund Rice people. MRS GEORGINA BOWLER DIRECTOR OF STAFF

As a community, we grow stronger every year. Typical of close relationships, once you are a member of our village, you are forever changed by our ways, our traditions and our values, and so you remain a part of our extended family. This is a comfort when we have to say goodbye to our colleagues because we know they take a little part of us with them, and it is also a blessing for our new people who sense what a special place CBC Fremantle is. This year we were privileged to welcome both new and well-known faces into our community: Mrs Rachel Alweyn, Ms Melissa Baines, Mrs Antonella Burgio, Ms Cheree Dobra, Mr Matt Dodgson, Mrs Jenaé Fynn, Mrs Hayley Gale, Mr Raffaele Guadagnino, Ms Emer Hickey, Ms Claire Keet, Ms Jenny Knox, Miss Mali Merttens, Mr Nicholas Moulton, Mr Alec Robinson, Miss Meaghan Simons, Ms Judith Stringer, Ms Chloe Sullivan, Miss Dominique Thatcher, Mrs Suzanne Walker and Mr Thomas Yeates. The year has been richly blessed with their companionship and service. We also bid farewell to some long-term members of staff whose contribution to the College has been considerable. When her impending retirement was announced in Term 1, Ms Trevanna Cooper was inundated with phone calls, messages and visits from past students who recalled her patience, good humour, kindness and compassion. It would be safe to say that Ms Cooper’s ‘firm but fair’ approach to the generations of students whom she taught in her 40 years at the College left an indelible legacy on so many. Thank you, Trevanna, for your wise counsel, sensitive listening and incredible teaching experience – as one Old Boy said, you are a CBC legend. Mrs Jenny D’Ascanio also entered retirement after almost 32 years with the College. Her good humour will be missed in the classrooms. Mrs D’Ascanio’s famous staff Melbourne Cup lunches and sundowner nibbles and snacks in the staffroom were very much appreciated and we are grateful for her countless behind-the-scenes contributions to the CBC social events. Mr Daniel Bateman, Ms Larissa Dodsworth, Ms Cat Fry-Walker, Mrs Valma Granich, Mrs Stephanie Hantzis, Miss Shelley Nodwell and Mr Mike Pickford were also bid farewell, and we thank all of these wonderful and beautiful-hearted educators for their commitment to the development of the leaders of tomorrow. The year wound up with our traditional staff Mass in Blessed Edmund Chapel, followed by lunch. Gathering in our own sacred space is always a wonderful experience and we are so blessed to have Mr Matthew Silveira and other colleagues who share their spiritual wisdom every time we celebrate as a faith community. We are human and we are fallible, but we are Edmund Rice people and we are loved.

Ensuring financial sustainability. MR TONY PITOS BUSINESS MANAGER

CBC has progressed development on many fronts in 2021, and the importance of the budgeting process continues to be integral to the fiscal capacity of the College. The Operating Budget provides not only sound estimations of revenue and expenditure in the College but also provides analyses of these relationships that determine financial efficiencies. Three-year forecast modelling allows for trends determined either by government regulation or demographic changes in our community structure. This can circumvent situations that could threaten College operations and viability. The CBC Fremantle Strategic Plan is aligned to the budget modelling, which identifies the Curriculum and Capital Development expenditure necessary to maintain a strong level of pedagogy. While COVID-19 remains a constant influence, we have been fortunate that the closed Western Australian border has insulated the state economy from what could have caused great financial and other hardships for many families. The College has been a fortunate beneficiary also as there has been no significant disruption to its business and the educational process has not been unduly affected. Additionally, families within our community have

generally been able to keep current with their fee-paying commitments. This year the annual Australian Bureau of Statistics once again surveyed the households of our enrolled students to determine Government Recurrent Grant Funding for the College. This collection is called the Index of Cultural and Social Economic Advantage (ICSEA), and data analysed provides insight in determining the fee structure of the College. If this

tuition fees, with the potential to apply increases proportionate to the loss of grant income to make up the shortfall. In 2021, Tuition Fees and Charges were not increased in order to remain consistent with post-COVID-19 initiatives. Fortunately, the impact on College financial capabilities was not excessive as student population growth was not sufficient to impact staffing levels and thus costs. However, continuing financial pressures on the College, including rises in teaching salaries and other general expenses, will inevitably result in fee increases in the future.

“In line with our Edmund Rice Education Australia ethos, affordability remains a constant focus within our College.”

demographic data demonstrates an increased financial capacity of families in the CBC student catchment area then this will have the effect of reducing the level of federal and state funding. The amount of funding has been in steady decline over the last few years after the release of the Gonski Report has placed greater pressure on tuition fees as a revenue source. The flow-on from the reduction of funding will place the College in the invidious position of having to review

Tuition fees are integral to the cash flow that gives CBC the capacity to continue the various capital projects within the College, provide the resources required for optimum pedagogy, and keep abreast of current educational trends.

In line with our Edmund Rice Education Australia ethos, affordability remains a constant focus within our College. This means all families must pay their fees, with the exception of students who are beneficiaries of the James McGowan Bursary, which is paid by the Alumni Association. Full payment of fees means that the budgeted resources will not be reduced, which of course may deplete the capacity to provide optimal educational delivery and necessitate large

fee increases. CBC Fremantle takes great pride in providing excellence in education and pastoral care while operating with fees and charges significantly lower than other metropolitan boys’ schools. The largest cost continues to be Salaries and Wages and Operations and Maintenance, with teaching salaries the most significant component. Other expenditure includes those related to utilities and maintenance and the ongoing professional development of staff. The one-to-one staff and student laptop programme at the College has continued to provide exceptional education capacity in e-Learning and this was exemplified during the home schooling necessitated by COVID-19. However, the use of technology has created an environment where any inappropriate online use needs to be monitored with cyber security supplied by a third party. The safety of our students is paramount and the College continues to be vigilant in this area. Much of the year saw protracted negotiations with the City of Fremantle to obtain development approval to build on the College’s property at 162 High Street. The delay in approval resulted in an increase in the vicinity of $1.1 million, bringing the project to an estimated cost calculated by the Quantity Surveyor of $8.2 million. Nonetheless the building approval

has been obtained and the estimated start date is June 2022, with the build expected to take approximately 18 months. This is the first stage of the three stages of the proposed Capital Development Plan for the College. Stage three involves the facility on the west side of the Cloisters known as the ‘white building’ and has been prioritised over the Marshall Wing development. This campus improvement has already commenced and has generated a great deal of excitement with the Year 7 teaching staff as it will involve the renovation of classrooms 105 to 108 and, when combined with rooms 109 and 110, will create a new Year 7 precinct. Further development of this building and the Science block will occur in 2022.

allowed for greater flexibility on the main campus by freeing up classrooms. The College has also purchased the property at 164 High Street and in doing so has increased the footprint of the College in continuous form by combining the main campus with two adjoining properties along High Street. Further Capital Development initiatives this year provided other facilities at the College to support the welfare of our students, including a covered bike rack area and various classroom and workshop upgrades.

Additionally, the application for the refurbishment of Edmund Hall has been approved by the Heritage Council and the City of Fremantle. Work will commence in 2022 and is funded by the CBC Alumni Association.

CBC continues to adhere to the CEWA Mandatory Reporting and EREA Code of Conduct obligations for staff under the Child Safety umbrella, plus other areas of compliance necessary for its operation. Students educated at CBC attend a College that provides a safe, inclusive environment offering a sound education for its students in whatever vocational pathway they choose.

During the year the College negotiated leasehold occupancy at 223 High Street, which has provided six classrooms and a mezzanine common room. The Year 12 cohort has been assigned to this building, providing them with the opportunity to study as a unified group and assume responsibility for the care of their work environment. The relocation has also

I would like to recognise the College staff who are integral to its efficient operation, particularly in Finance, Maintenance, Student Services, and administration and other allied staff. Their quiet efficiency and consistent endeavours contribute to a friendly and welcoming front line. Thank you to you all, and to our families, who are an integral part of this wonderful community.

REDEFINING STRENGTH DYLAN MCHUGH COLLEGE CAPTAIN GRADUATION ADDRESS

Most graduation speeches focus on similar kinds of things: nostalgia for the good times, stories of growth, hope for the future. But tonight, I’m going to talk about something a little different – the concept of strength. I am not talking about huge muscles, broad shoulders or superhuman powers. This school has taught us how to redefine strength and how to recognise it in ourselves. We might not feel strong in this present moment. We’re about to leave our comfort zones, our bubbles of certainty and the routines that we have become accustomed to. Those routines – waking up at six or seven in the morning, bursting through the school gates in time for Mentor and studying for that upcoming test – have all come to an end, and now we stand facing the unknown. However, we do not face this alone, but with our friends, with our family, and with this community behind us. In many ways, we are stronger than we have ever been before.

“I am very proud to stand here as your Captain. Being a leader is extremely important to me. In my eyes, leaders are people to look up to and who care for others.”

I am very proud to stand here as your Captain. Being a leader is extremely important to me. In my eyes, leaders are people to look up to and who care for others.

Yet I haven’t always felt comfortable in this role. In my early years of high school, I was shy and tended to fly under the radar. I never wanted to put up my hand in class, or sign up for any clubs or teams. I still remember the pit of dread in my stomach at the thought of delivering a speech in front of other students. Speaking in front of a big group? Who would want to do that? But over the course of my years at CBC I found my strength in leadership, in being someone who could be a role model and who could care for others. I found that I was strong – not physically, clearly – but in my leadership. CBC has given me opportunities to lead and find out who I am, to discover the strength I have within myself. There’s a famous saying that strength grows in the moments when you think you can’t go on but you go on anyway. And we’ve had a few of these moments over the years. In Year 9, a group of us were fortunate enough to attend the USA NASA tour, and even the trip there was full of challenging moments. On our first flight, from Perth to Sydney, the plane lost cabin pressure and was forced to plummet to a lower altitude. In a surreal turn of events, the sirens started blaring and the masks dropped down from the cabin ceiling. We frantically strapped them to our faces, frightened and in tears, while the plane made an emergency landing in Melbourne. Most distressingly, the in-flight entertainment never came back on! I was not happy. Yet the whole ordeal created a strong bond between all of us who experienced it together. It’s something

we all still talk about to this day. Sam Yau still jokes about how Mr Leicester saved his life by helping him put on his oxygen mask. These events don’t just build resilience, they show us the power of collective strength – a power that was consolidated by the Year 9 Rite Journey programme. It was one of our biggest steps towards adulthood. Each member of the Class of ’21 here had different experiences on the Rite Journey and the camp in Bindoon, but all of us here will remember that the camp involved various team-building exercises. The one that has stuck with me most was where everyone was sitting in a circle, facing away from the centre. We were then instructed to turn and lie our heads on the next person’s lap. The chairs were then removed one by one, until there were none left, and the only support you had was from the person you were leaning on. One person’s strength was not enough — you had to work as a whole team. It’s an age-old cliché, but it’s true: ‘a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.’ Over the following three years from that day we attended many more Retreats that helped us to find out what it means to have faith, what it means to live by Gospel Values and what it means to be a CBC gentleman — not just a boy who goes to CBC. For me, the Kairos retreat at the end of last year was one of the most significant events in my time at the College. Before I went to Kairos I had just become a member of the Catholic Church and was baptised. This retreat helped me find strength in faith, in my faith. It started me on my faith journey, and allowed me to share aspects of my journey with others. At the start of 2021, the Year 12 Retreat delivered another special moment for our cohort. One of our allied staff members, Mr Glen Lacey, spoke about his life and his vast experiences, from working customs in the airport, to cycling long distance, to losing one of his close friends. We sat in hushed silence. By sharing his life with us and showing his emotions, Mr Lacey showed us what CBC is all about. It’s the very thing that Mr Burgio often talks about – the reason why our school tagline is ‘Today’s boys ... tomorrow’s gentlemen’. Our tagline is not meant to be an expression of masculinity, but a statement about the kind of people we want to be – gentle

men. You might think that gentleness and strength have opposite meanings, but this school shows us that they are one and the same. That strength is not bottling your feelings up or hiding your emotions away. Sometimes, to be strong is to be gentle and emotional. To be strong is to be courteous, kind and caring. In this school, people like Mr Lacey are our pillars of strength. I would like to say a special thank you to all the allied staff at CBC: our groundskeepers, who make the College look amazing; our Canteen crew, who every day feed hundreds of hungry boys; our front desk team, who are the first interaction many have with the school and are always welcoming and of the

highest calibre; our marketing team, who always manage to catch special moments, and the admin staff, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure smooth sailing. We really couldn’t be more appreciative of your work. The teachers at CBC are the other pillars of strength who prop up our community. The warm, approachable atmosphere has lifted many days that, honestly, I would rather have been anywhere else but school. There are so many words I could use to describe these exceptional people, but to me the word that has been demonstrated over and over again is ‘sacrifice’. The amount of effort our CBC teachers put in to benefit us students is incredible. Thank you so much for all the hours you have given up in order to get the best out of us as your students. Thank you for the love you show us all and support you give us whenever we need it. Thank you also to Mr Burgio, Ms Knox, Mr Bailey, Mr Pickford

and the other members of our school’s leadership team, who are so dedicated to this community and work tirelessly to bring us together as one. Our final pillars are our parents. I would also like to thank every single parent and guardian of the gentlemen of the Class of 2021. The work of our parents has been incredible for these past 18 years and a lot of the time we don’t see it or don’t have the chance to say thank you. Mums and Dads, we all appreciate and thank you for the massive role you have played in our lives. You have provided us with countless opportunities and endless support. Your sons sit tall beside you because you have lifted us up every step of the way; you have seen us succeed and fail and try again, and loved us regardless – thank you. There’s an old Christian story about a man who was told by God to push against a large rock with all of his might. The man did this day after day, working himself past the point of exhaustion. Eventually, tired and defeated, he started to feel discouraged. When God came to him, he started to weep. God said, ‘Son, why are you crying?’, to which the man replied, ‘I have pushed with all that was within me for months, and that dumb old rock is right where it was when I started.’ God then explained, ‘I never told you to move the rock, I told you to push against the rock. You’ve done everything I asked you.’ The man looked in the mirror and saw how he had changed. He’d grown strong – not just physically, but on the inside as well. He realised that God’s plan was not to move the rock, but to give him strength. For the last six years, this school has asked us to keep pushing against the rock. We might not have always seen the point – maybe we thought we’d never need to know the atomic mass of every chemical element, or run a cross country, or deliver a speech to the class. But in doing all these things, we have gained strength. I would like to wish you all good luck for the future and I truly thank you for our time together and all the memories we share. Gents, take a minute to take in everything from tonight, as we, the Class of 2021, say goodbye.

TOMORROW’S GENTLEMEN MR TERRY IANNELLO PRESIDENT ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The years flow past so quickly, but this year the Alumni Association packed quite a punch with our activities and initiatives and – for a bunch of old blokes – keeping pretty flexible in the face of a changing social landscape. To this point, our first event of 2021 was delayed by a couple of weeks and it was a pleasure to welcome the Class of 2020 back to their College as Old Boys. They looked relaxed and happy as they chatted with their teachers and caught up with their Mentor buddies, and we wish them all the best for their future endeavours. Every year we acknowledge the student with the highest ATAR in his cohort, and this year we presented Ben Leavy with the Alumni Association Award for 2020. It takes a lot of hard work and perseverance to obtain the top mark and we congratulate Ben for his commitment to personal excellence. Once again we held a combined year reunion at our All Ages Reunion and Alumni Awards. The event was, as always, a lot of fun and such a wonderful example of the broad cross-section of our graduates. As I say, it is not very often that a 20-year-old spends quality time having a chat with an octogenarian except at a family event – and that’s exactly what the All Ages Reunion feels like. Riley Faulds (’16) was our MC for the evening and assisted us admirably in celebrating the incredible achievements of alumni Prof Frank Mastaglia (‘57), who received the Br Patrick Kelly Award for Leadership, Mr Peter Christie (‘78) for his commitment to community, and Mr Daniel Murphy (’08) who was awarded the Rising Star. The Making a Difference Staff award was presented to Ms Marilyn Schmidt, whose passionate desire to help every student achieve their potential has resulted in extraordinary experiences in both academia and faith for many CBC boys. This year, the Alumni Association committee was really excited to launch a project that has been a few years in the planning. In June we launched a fundraising campaign to contribute to the exterior restoration of 36

the old hall, which is the College’s Blessed Edmund Chapel and Religious Education classrooms. We are really pleased with the response from our community and with this generous support are certain we will reach our goal. The works will commence early in 2022 and the final result will be a lasting legacy from the Old Boys. While these initiatives are exciting, it is always the James McGowan Bursary that gives us the most satisfaction. Every year the Alumni Association pays the College tuition fees for a student in need and this decision is at the discretion of the Principal. The student who benefits from the Bursary remains unknown to us but we do hear that

“We are honoured to represent the thousands of young and old men and women who are part of the CBC Fremantle Alumni Association.”

he is making the most of the opportunities presented to him and it is incredibly fulfilling to know that we have made such a difference in a young man’s life. I take this opportunity to thank Mr Domenic Burgio and the College Leadership team for their support during the year. I would also like to thank my fellow committee members: George Ayres, Des Baccini, Nick Bienkowski, Frank Lo Presti, Kevin O’Brien, John Plummer, Phil Taranto, Graham Taylor and Raymond Morris. We are honoured to represent the thousands of young and old men and women who are part of the CBC Fremantle Alumni Association. God bless.

I’m with the band. MR MARK CAMPANA PRESIDENT MUSIC PARENT GROUP

I am pleased to report that the Music Parent Group (MPG) has been very busy this year supporting the activities of the young gentlemen at CBC. The events have been numerous and varied, providing an invaluable opportunity for the boys to showcase their talents before diverse audiences and gain fantastic experience. Earlier in the year, the boys thoroughly enjoyed the Music Camp and the opportunity for quality rehearsal time with their teachers and peers. Family and friends were treated to performances on the last day of the camp, which were well received. The Music Camp continues to be a positive experience for everyone who is involved. Some of the performance opportunities that followed included Future Treasures as part of the Fremantle Festival’s 10 Nights in Port 2021, Jazz Fremantle’s youth programme initiative, CBC Fremantle Music Performance evening, Ellington Jazz Club, Catholic Education WA Spirit of the Arts and the College’s fantastic Music Festival. These events also gave the MPG a captive audience to raise funds to support the boys on their musical journey, particularly the proposed 2022 Music Tour. Below left to right: Music Camp; Seth Telling at Awards Evening; Ms Claire Keet at rehearsal; Samuel Henderson-Kelly at Music Camp.

The MPG is made up of a motivated and committed team of parents. Thank you to Vice President Athena Telling, Treasurer Monica Ranallo, Secretaries Rachel Jeffery and Beth Carrello, Fundraising Captain Lee-Ann De’Pannone, and also to Annique Buckland, Christine Menner, Craig Menner, Narelle Strachan and Rochelle Williams – your tenacity support is appreciated.

I would like to acknowledge the generous sponsors, whose donations are vital for our fundraising efforts. Thank you to the Fremantle business community and the various individuals, including many CBC families, for their kind support.

“The dedication and of our music students in pursuit of their instrumental and vocal crafts is admirable. Thank you gentlemen – we are honoured to be part of your journey.”

Our major fundraising event this year, the CBC Music Festival, was an enormous success, with a raffle and money board game boosting our bank balance. The evening had a wonderful atmosphere and the audience was treated to performances by the Big Band, Guitar Ensembles 1 and 2, Junior Band, Brass Ensemble, Rock Band, Choir, Vocal Ensemble and Jazz Orchestra.

The CBC Music programme would not be possible without the dedication and nurturing nature of the teachers and tutors who strive for each student to become the best musician they can be and, most importantly, make the art of music enjoyable. A special thank you to Mr Shane Mancuso, Mrs Emma Tandy and all the music staff.

We are very proud of what our boys have achieved this year. It is not always easy to balance music with study, sports, family and friends. The dedication and tenacity of our music students in pursuit of their instrumental and vocal crafts is admirable. Thank you gentlemen – we are honoured to be part of your journey.


Sharing the CBC journey. MR DAVID CONTERA PRESIDENT PARENT AUXILIARY Like the rest of the CBC community, the Parent Auxiliary came into 2021 ready to face any challenge and, despite a rocky start, we were thrilled that most of the College events we assist at went ahead thanks to a flexible and patient schedule. We started with a Morning Tea on the first day of school for the Year 7 parents. Keep calm and have a cup of tea was our motto, and our parents probably needed it, with our new young boys heading straight into their transition week camp because of the delay in commencing the school year. Parents and boys took it all in their stride, as we heard at the Year 7 Parent Information Evening on 18 February, followed by our lovingly prepared Wine and Cheese platters. This is always a great opportunity to get to know our new parents and catch up with old ones. As Mr Burgio says, we always have to turn out the lights as a hint that the night is over long after the allocated hour! I’m not sure who has the best time, us or them, and I thank my fellow PA wine and cheese servers for showing what good old CBC hospitality is all about.

Share the Journey was held on a stunning day at Point Walter. This parent-led event is a crucial introduction to the CBC journey and highlights the strong relationship between the College and its families. I love being able to work shoulder-toshoulder with our student leaders as we prepare and distribute the sausage sizzle that follows the walk, and I thank these fine young men for giving up their Sunday morning with such good grace. Mother’s Day was a double delight this year, with the Years 10 to 12 mums, aunties, grandmas and sisters attending on the Thursday, and other years on the Friday in line with social distancing rules. It’s always an amazing celebration, and I thank everyone involved for their patience and understanding with the changes to our usual one-day event. The PA team assisted with catering at the Year 8 Project Showcase, which was held in the Year 12 Learning Centre on 18 August, and also the Academic Excellence evening in the same venue. Father’s Day breakfast on 3 September

was amazing – I can’t believe how many eggs were cooked under the direction of Mr Mike Pickford and his army of student volunteers. We also helped set up the Year 9 Social in the gym on 10 September and the Mum and Son Dinner Dance on the following Sunday. Thank you to my son Ethan who helped us – his assistance was very much appreciated on the day. In Term 4 we were there for the Visual Art Exhibition opening in the evening on 27 October, and how spectacular it looked in the big upstairs space at 223 High Street. The next day we were back again to serve morning and afternoon teas for Grandparents’ Day, wrapping up a full year of service to our community. I am so grateful to my colleagues in the Parent Auxiliary, who never fail to lift my spirits. When I see them arrive at an event with their big smiles and can-do attitude I thank God for being a part of this special community. Nikki Bowyer, James Metcalfe-Gibson, Jessica Parker, Michael Renton, Karen Simons and Mark Woodcock – thank you for all that you do.

The heart of compassion. MRS CAROL DENNY HEAD OF KELLY HOUSE

As the 2021 graduates made their final walk across our stage, holding their heads high, I watched and admired with a sense of joy the exceptional young gentlemen they have become. Their pride, generosity and compassion are clear for all to see. I am so fortunate to have a role where I experience the personal growth in these young men. It is an emotional and celebratory time. As is now tradition, our year started with the Year 7 camp in Waroona. Due to the COVID lockdown in Week 1 of first term, all of our fresh-faced Kelly students started their CBC journey by hopping on a bus and waving goodbye to Mum and Dad. The circumstances of day one were not ideal; however, once we arrived at camp all of the boys seemed to relish the challenge. They harnessed their nerves and started making friends. I marvel at the resilience and growth demonstrated by these young men. Their enthusiasm and kindness for each other continued throughout the year and resulted in a positive transition to high school.

Clockwise from top: At the House Swimming; Jayden Tomic at House Athletics; Easton Burrows in King of the Cloisters; Joseph Teixeira, Tristan Massimi and Jordan Symington at House Swimming Carnival; Darcy Day at House Cross Country. Above: Mrs Denny.

In April this year, we sadly said goodbye to Ms Trevanna Cooper, Mentor teacher for Kelly 3 and a much-loved staff member of CBC Fremantle for some four decades. Ms Cooper is well known throughout the wider CBC Fremantle and Edmund Rice communities for her tireless dedication to service. I have also been blessed this year to work with Ms Lana De Palma, Mr Craig Jones, Ms Chloe Lynn, Mr Alec Robinson, Mr James Schubert, Mr Ben Shaw and Ms Judith Stringer. The boys of Kelly

House are extremely privileged to have such hard working and selfless Mentor teachers. Their daily pastoral care shown to our students is first class.

The Kelly House spirit of compassion has been on show in every College activity. Kelly students always offer their time and skills to the many extra activities available at the College.

Whether it be playing an instrument, sprinting in the relay, singing in the College Choir, welcoming visitors to the College, running the cross country, sorting containers for our ecology programme or cooking meals for the disadvantaged, Kelly House boys consistently serve their community with kindness and compassion. I would like to make special mention of our House Captains for all the work they have done for Kelly House this year. Charles Green and Sebastian Vogler have worked hard to build House spirit, particularly at the Swimming Carnival early in the year. In 2022 we look forward to working with our House Captains who were elected this year, Luke Kenny and Fraser Hickling – both outstanding young men who will bring enthusiasm to Kelly House.

The flame of integrity. MR MATT DODGSON HEAD OF MORGAN HOUSE

This year was full of challenges, progression and richness. We commenced with 30 Year 7 students boldly and energetically starting their journey with Morgan House and CBC Fremantle. At the culmination of the journey we had 14 Year 12 students commence their final year at CBC Fremantle, with the customary gesture of inducting the Year 7 boys with a guard of honour. These contrasting, yet parallel, traditions provided a strong link of mentorship and leadership between the junior and senior gentleman in our school. Morgan House had many students engaged across the life of the College throughout 2021. This included leadership development, sports teams, art programmes, service learning opportunities and community engagement, as well as many other growthfocussed activities. In addition, Morgan House Captains, Tony Kolic and Alexander Richards, led the way in an intra-House basketball competition, with the winners being Morgan 2. Tony and Alexander are to be commended for their leadership by setting an example and participating in numerous House activities. It is hoped that this event becomes a Morgan tradition for years to come. Clockwise from top: Cian Parkinson at House Swimming; Griffin Williams in the pool; Eric Chapman in King of the Cloisters; Archie Tither with the Indoor Soccer trophy; Luka Adams at House Athletics. Above: Mr Dodgson.

Morgan House achieved a consistent finish in the Wedd Cup this year, placing third in the Swimming Carnival, second in the Cross-Country, and second in the Athletics.

The endeavour, commitment and support from the boys in red went a long way in achieving these commendable results. It is evident that the supportive House spirit and the competitive nature of the boys will contribute towards even stronger results in 2022. I congratulate the 14 graduates of Morgan House. Their desire to reach their potential and contribute to their community is a testament to their characters and the wonderful partnerships between our families and the College. It was incredibly rewarding to witness each CBC Fremantle gentleman take the stage at graduation and to have their achievements and contributions recognised in a CBC way. Finally, Morgan House would not have the sense of belonging and spirit that it does without the pastoral care and committed involvement of the Mentor Group teachers. I thank my wonderful colleagues: Mr Chris Dix, Mrs Samantha Emslie, Mrs Jenaé Fynn, Miss Danielle MacDonald, Mrs Meagan Musson, Mrs Petrina Richmond and Mr Chris Sellings for their dedicated support for the gentlemen of Morgan House.

The gift of service. MS EMER HICKEY HEAD OF O’CONNOR HOUSE

This has been an exciting year for O’Connor House. In my first year, it was the boys of O’Connor who welcomed me and were always on hand to help out and steer the ship. Their connection to each other is a fantastic witness to the community culture. The year started with welcoming our new cohort of Year 7 students. The Year 7 Camp was a highlight and the support from their peers and delight in each other’s successes were sure signs of firm friendships developing.

Clockwise from top: Angus Evans at House Athletics; Xavier Smith, Hamish Eayrs, Maksim Spanjic, Cole Clayden and Adam Eaglestone; Cole Clayden; David Portelli, Dakota Lamers and Luca Bertolini; Matthew De Bueger. Above: Ms Hickey.

With the guidance of the Year 12 buddies, our new O’Connor boys have overcome challenges and begun their journey to becoming CBC gentlemen. O’Connor House efforts during the sport carnivals this year were valiant. Although our House spirit was tested on each of the three carnival days, O’Connor boys

are resilient. Despite our best efforts, we suffered sixth place at all three carnivals. Our sights are firmly set on improving this record in 2022. Happily, our boys found their sporting talents on the indoor soccer court. For me, this competition proved to be the greatest display of unity and joy of O’Connor House this year. The ease of the relationships between the boys, the way they look out for each other and actively seek to include others, are a testament to the day-to-day culture in our Mentor classes. The boys of O’Connor House were extremely fortunate to have been led by Willem Di Prinzio and Jacob Mondi. Both Willem and Jacob have demonstrated servant leadership at every moment, and have worked tirelessly to improve the spirit and harmony of O’Connor. Additionally, the work and care of the Mentor teachers, who greet the boys with a smile and a kind word, deserves acknowledgement and gratitude. I thank Ms Mai Barnes, Miss Ali Connell, Mr Louis Miller, Mr Nicholas Moulton, Ms Marriann O’Neill and Ms Tavia Pursell for all their efforts in 2021.

The strength of determination. MS CHLOE LYNN HEAD OF PATRICK HOUSE

Reflecting on the year that was is like consulting a map. We see the course, the twists and turns and the highlights, but mostly it provides an opportunity to be grateful for the precious moments and the many successes of 2021. Due to COVID-19 delaying the start of the school year by one week, the first few days for our new Year 7 boys were spent at camp. It allowed the cohort to establish new friendships and engage in interactive team activities that pushed them outside of their comfort zones. Our Patrick boys were determined and up for the challenge, every step of the way. We welcomed many Patrick families into the Cloisters for the annual House Week breakfast, where parents also took the opportunity to join their sons for Mentor Group. The week was full of activities and Patrick students were fierce competitors, performing well in the cross country and taking out the crown for the annual spelling bee competition.

Clockwise from top: Angus Haigh at the House Athletics; Zak Biancuzzo at the House Athletics; Matthew Biancuzzo in the Indoor Soccer competition; Matthew Bosco and Maximillian Endersby in the House Cross Country; Gabriel Irving and Rex Dickenson at the House Aths; Zack Palandri at the House Swimming Carnival. Above: Ms Lynn.

Our Drama, Music and Visual Art events showcased our boys’ talents, with many Patrick students having roles in the College performance of The Witches, and the festivals and performances throughout the year. Well done to all boys on your commitment – it is truly admirable. The College Athletics Carnival was another opportunity for our boys to demonstrate their commitment to excellence. Many also held their breath and waited in anticipation for the annual indoor soccer competition. It was Patrick 2 who made the Grand Final; unfortunately, it was not meant to be, but the boys put in a fantastic performance.

There is always an overwhelming number of students from Patrick House who serve the wider community. Thank you, gentlemen, for all that you do to make the world a better place. Congratulations to all Patrick House students who received acknowledgement for their academic successes throughout the year. Whether it be commendations for improvement, participation in classroom activities, outstanding academic behaviours or special subject awards, their dedication to achieving their best is commendable. I wish to thank the amazing Patrick House Mentor teachers. Their compassion and kindness is so appreciated. This year we welcomed Mrs Hayley Gale (P1), Ms Chloe Sullivan (P3) and Ms Meaghan Simons (P6) to our group, which included Mr Zachary Preston (P2), and Mr Daniel Kennedy (P5) and Ms Leanne Ogden (P6). I would also like to extend my thanks to our House Councillors for their enthusiasm, in particular our captains, Clancy Dewar and Raphael McCrackan. It has been a privilege to work alongside our fine young men, celebrate their successes, ride the waves of challenges, and watch as they grow and develop into fine young gentleman.

The spirit of endeavour. MR JEREMY PERIS HEAD OF RICE HOUSE

It was a special moment – the Viking Clap celebration, made famous by the supporters of the Icelandic Football Team, rang out across the State Athletics Stadium as our Rice House Year 12 leaders headed down the stands to collect the trophy that completed an unprecedented clean sweep of the CBC Sports carnivals. The unified cheer, led by our enthusiastic Year 11 students, epitomised the Rice House spirit. It was a show of joy, support and togetherness. A moment where the collective effort of all students was acknowledged. A moment that perfectly captured the feel of 2021 for our House.

Clockwise from top left: Kelly Rawlings at the House Athletics; James Robartson and Ryner Westerhout; Rice House Year 12 boys at the House Swimming; Joe Elliott-Tideman; Kelly Rawlings and Mark Dropulich; Kobe Feizaks. Above: Mr Peris.

It commenced with the first interaction of the Year 12 cohort with their Year 7 buddies. I shared afternoon tea with the Year 7 boys in their first few weeks at the College and they all spoke about the kindness and love shown by the senior students who took them under their wing. I thank the graduates of 2021 for all the assistance provided to our students and staff over their time at the College. The support exemplified by our leaders was further demonstrated by all Rice House students through their involvement in various aspects of the College community. Some boys were comfortable serving behind a barbecue, welcoming visitors

to the College or improving our grounds by working in the native garden. Others shared their gifts with the community through the arts programme, be it in Visual Art, Music, Media or Drama. Others still excelled in designing and crafting furniture, manipulating metals or feeding the masses from their work in the catering kitchen.

Each boy at the College is challenged to give his best. Consistently and collectively, Rice boys met their challenge this year. I would like to thank our Mentor teachers, Mrs Amelia Andrew, Mrs Vanessa Bacich, Ms Angela Calanni, Mrs Nicole Christie, Mrs Zoe Francis, Mrs Stephanie Hantzis, Mrs Keely Laing and Mr David von Felton for all the love, support and care they gave to our Rice House boys this year.

The honour of courage. MRS PAULINE VAN LOHUIZEN HEAD OF SAMSON HOUSE

I look back at the beginning of the 2021 school year with pride as everyone in the College, including our community, looked after each other and showed courage in accepting ever-changing conditions. The Year 7 camp in Waroona was my proper introduction to the new boys in Samson. Students were asked to step outside their comfort zones on many occasions, being as brave as they could be while at the same time supporting their peers. The ‘pamper pole’ was one that stands out, where the boys were asked to climb onto a high pole approximately seven metres above ground, then jump off while touching a ball on the way down. Each boy was enthusiastically encouraged and the proud smiles all around told the real story.

During the House Swimming Carnival, our House Captains, Liam Pintaudi and Marc Morolla, personally encouraged all of the participants, supporting teachers in the stands and generally raising House spirit.

Clockwise from top: Matthew Collins at House Swimming; Liam Pintaudi at House Week breakfast; Samuel Beeson; Mrs Van Lohuizen with Samson mascots. Above: Mrs Van Lohuizen.

Some of the very successful activities these two leaders initiated were the Mentor push up challenge, and the soccer competition. These activities offered students throughout the College an opportunity to participate in a fun activity that created a wonderful team atmosphere, and a huge congratulations to Samson 5, who won the challenge.

House Week was a celebration of our College community, with a range of activities involving students of all year groups. For Samson House, the Egg and Bacon Burger stand has become a ritual, and the early morning start and hard work did not deter any of our Samson boys from ensuring its success. House Cross Country also took place in House Week and Samson students demonstrated true sportsmanship. The depth of talent in Samson House was apparent in the College Drama production of The Witches. Two Samson Mentor teachers, Mr Kim Delury and Mrs Rosalba Jeffreys, were key to the success of the play. A special mention to Mrs Jeffreys, who stepped into the lead role at very short notice due to an illness. Our Edmund Rice Day festival commenced with Mass inside our Mentor rooms, during which all students demonstrated reverence for the occasion. I congratulate all Samson Mentor Groups for their fundraising activities, which ranged from horizontal bungee to card darts and fairy floss. The sun was out for the Athletics Carnival, and all students were out to give it their best. Although Samson did not win, I was confident that our House spirit grew even more. Our boys have been guided throughout the year by a group of talented and passionate Mentor teachers. I would personally like to thank Mr Ian Binet of S1, Mr Evgeny Bespalov of S2, Ms Lisa Speranza of S3, Mrs Shayni Nelson and Mrs Catherine Fry-Walker of S4, Mr Kim Delury of S5, and Ms Clara Booth and Mrs Rosalba Jeffreys of S6, for their commitment to all of our students.

SHORTCUTS Gospel Spirituality • Term 1

9 February It looked like our Year 7 gentlemen had a fantastic time on camp. We were excited to welcome them all back to the College to hear all about their adventures.

29 January Our next generation of leaders had a fantastic start to their final year of high school with their Year 12 Retreat. The day included a host of reflections about the journey so far and what their next steps might be, conversations with graduates who have already walked that path, and a shared lunch with staff.

11 February Our Year 7 boys from Kelly, Morgan and Patrick Houses had a great first day on campus after spending their first few days at the College on camp. Their Year 11 and 12 buddies did a fantastic job of showing them the ropes and helping them settle in to their new community. Hopefully they’ve got plenty of exciting stories from the day.

15 February It was an exciting morning in the Gym, as we formally welcomed our Year 7 boys into the CBC family.

22 February Our Year 10 Italian students got a taste of university life when they visited UWA to learn more about the benefits of studying a language after high school. The gentlemen had the chance to explore the pristine grounds, meet the peacocks and catch up with alumni Anthony Cutri and Jack Prigg (both Class of ‘19).

23 February CBC was well represented at the launch of Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion campaign.


24 February Our Year 8 Art students had the opportunity to work with local artist Grace Comeagain this week as they explored the theme of ‘No Ordinary Place’. Throughout the semester the budding artists used the theme to explore Australia’s unique qualities, and especially our Aboriginal cultures, which make our country unlike anywhere else on Earth.

25 February Congratulations to three of our exceptional artists from the Class of 2020, who had their work featured as part of the 2021 Southern Perspectives exhibition. The works produced by Christian Gentile, Isaac Weiser and Jackson Young were selected from hundreds of other entries, and we couldn’t be more proud of their achievement.

3 March This fantastic group from the College community gave up their Saturday morning for a very busy bee at Fremantle’s St Patrick’s Basilica. Thanks everyone for all of your work to help our friends keep their grounds neat and tidy.

9 March Thank you to everyone who joined us at our House Week Breakfast. We hope you had a great time enjoying some delicious breakfast, whether prepared by our students or our food vendors, while our very talented musicians filled the Cloisters with their funky tunes.

12 March Our Year 7 Media students produced some awesome sets and characters as they began to experiment with claymation techniques.

Our STEM boys had a great time visiting Relics and exploring the endless possibilities that open up when creativity, imagination and engineering combine. The exhibition is part of this year’s Scribblers Festival and served as a cautionary tale of what the world might look like if humans were forced to move in search of a new planet, while also being an inspirational example of the opportunities that exist in each Lego brick.

It was perfect weather for a trip to Rottnest yesterday as our Year 7 boys made the journey across the channel to learn more about the Island’s history, as well as its unique ecosystem and environment. The combined HASS and Science excursion allowed boys the opportunity to take their knowledge out of the classroom and into the real world.

Cultiving responsibility, resilience and hope. MS JENNY KNOX VICE PRINCIPAL IDENTITY AND MISSION

Gospel Values are the beating heart of our College. Our actions, attitudes and endeavours embody the Christ-centred and student-focussed mission of Catholic Education in Western Australia. This year, our mission was unequivocal. Mr Burgio stood in front of the entire student body at the beginning of the school year and asked for an ‘outbreak of kindness’. He called on each member of our community to act with compassion, respecting the human dignity of all. In the Bible, Micah says: “And what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and to love kindness.” And so we sought to do justice and love kindness, and this outbreak of kindness has come in many forms. At CBC, we can all be missionaries, which doesn’t have to be limited to working in faraway places – it means doing the work of Jesus here every day. A helping hand, an encouraging pat on the back, a welcoming smile, an apology, a prayer of intention, a word of thanks, a new friendship – these small yet purposeful acts of kindness and consideration are the heart of this beautiful place. We can contribute to a just society where we remove barriers, understand and celebrate differences and leave no one on the outside. While we are different in many ways, we are similar in so many more. We can attend to the moments of prayer throughout our day, looking outwards as well as inwards. During these times of pandemic and climate crisis, we pray with intention for communities around the 70

world who continue to experience extreme hardship. For those who are suffering, who have lost their livelihoods or loved ones, we pray that we can cultivate responsibility, resilience and hope.

We are so fortunate to have each other in this special community, and we take great pleasure in watching our students forming strong relationships underpinned by mutual respect.

St Augustine wrote that friendship is essential in life – it is the flame that fuses our souls together. In friendship, he said, we talk and laugh, share experiences, act with kindness, disagree without anger, help with one another’s burdens, and welcome others into our circle. These, and such-like things, proceeding from our hearts as we gave affection and received it back, and shown by face, by voice, by the eyes, and by a thousand other pleasing ways, kindled a flame which fused our very souls together, and, of many, made us one. At CBC, friendships are forged stronger through our rites of passage context, which aims to empower our students to move from an egocentric worldview to an adult worldview focussed on compassion, selflessness, inclusivity and accountability. As students move through their journey,

they grow to understand the important part they can play in making a better world for all and the inherent value of doing so, just as Blessed Edmund Rice did more than 200 years ago. Helping us to be accountable, everyone in our College community has the opportunity to participate in reconciliation. Pope John Paul II urged us to form our consciences by ‘a continuous conversion to what is true and what is good.’ In the act of reconciliation we are strengthened so that we can change our behaviours and let go of resentments and regrets. At CBC, we can all be reconciled and reconnected with God and those around us. Our school is a place where people of all walks of life can experience Catholic faith and the story of our founder. Visitors to our school find the Blessed Edmund Chapel a reassuring presence and they are likewise inspired by our Edmund Rice Walk, which includes the stainless-steel columns aligned at the front of the College that capture the story of his life and the women who inspired him. Our guests love seeing our boys sitting beside the Eddie statue in the Cloisters, the Touchstones at their feet, and also how respectful students are at the Apology Wall. We are fortunate to be surrounded by icons of our charism because through them we connect with our school’s uplifting story every day. And through our student’s interaction with them, as they reflect on the Grace of God that guided Edmund, or just appreciate the sound of the water feature during their breaks, we are all reminded of our shared mission to make the world a better place.

Spiritual nourishment for our community. MR MATTHEW SILVEIRA LITURGIES COORDINATOR

The formation of the boys according to the rich traditions of CBC, by being faithful to the four EREA Touchstones, has been my dauntless pursuit since I started as the coordinator of Liturgies. The engine room of our spiritual energy is fuelled by the worship and Retreats the boys encounter during their journey to realise the CBC vision of “Today’s boys ... tomorrow’s gentlemen.” The core of Catholic life emanates from the celebration of the Holy Eucharist that takes place every Thursday in the Edmund Rice Chapel. This serves to be the most vital source of spiritual nourishment to the whole CBC community. We are privileged to be imbued with the spirit of Christ through these weekly Masses thanks to the contribution of the hosting Mentor classes and the teachers, who have been an absolute pleasure to work with. This celebration extends to all facets of CBC life through other liturgical celebrations and Retreats for the other year groups and the CBC community at large. The most significant part of the liturgical calendar occurs during the Lenten Term, which included Ash Wednesday, our weekly Masses, Reconciliations and the Easter Liturgy. My seventh year at CBC as the Liturgies Coordinator kicked off with Edmund Term. The highlight events were the Mother’s Day Liturgy, which was the most vital part of this special celebration. Mothers, grandmothers, aunts and students were actively involved in different parts of the Liturgy, which provided the event with a wonderful and deeper meaning. The growth in spirituality is the most significant part of today’s boys developing into tomorrow’s gentlemen in the spirit of Pope Francis and our beloved patron Blessed Edmund Rice, who followed the path of the Gospel of Christ. The Lenten

Term saw all students from Year 7 to Year 12 involved in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The Edmund Rice Feast Day Mass was celebrated in the Chapel, with livestreaming enabling the active participation of all students and staff in their Mentor classes. The contribution of our committed students, especially the Extraordinary Ministers and volunteers, made the special Eucharistic celebration meaningful and engaging. The final Liturgies, the Graduation Mass and Reconciliations were the mark of the Advent Term. The two highlights were the Year 12 Graduation Mass and the final stage of The Rite Journey for Year 9 students.

during nearly 50 celebrations over the course of the year. The eight students selected from the present Year 11 cohort underwent a whole-day training session on 23 November. The contribution of Ms Maria Garbin towards the sensational sessions of formation of these students is acknowledged with thanks and appreciation. The role of Our Blessed Virgin Mary in the economy of salvation by cooperating with her Divine Son Jesus is never to be ignored. The Rosary group of CBC was initiated by Mr John Hortense and Dr Aidan Holohan, and seeks the intercessions of Mother Mary every Tuesday at 7.45am by meditating on the life of Jesus.

It is my pleasure to acknowledge the mighty contributions of Ms Jenny Knox The Graduation Mass was such and the ever-willing a moving ceremony with Year 12 support and input of students taking up several Mr Daniel Bateman and the RE staff.

Committed to our spiritual growth. MRS EMMA TANDY RETREATS COORDINATOR

Through the experience of our Retreat programme from Years 7 to 12, we provide our students with opportunities to connect to our wonderful school community, our faith tradition and ultimately to the mystery of God. In this vein, it is fitting that the Year 12 students commenced their final year at the College with a Retreat day in which the call to servant leadership was brought into focus. Along with College staff, the young men participated in a Mass in Blessed Edmund Chapel before having lunch together, highlighting the shared responsibility for leadership in our community. The Year 7 students began their year learning about the Edmund Rice story and what it means to be a ‘CBC boy’. Year 8 students were given the opportunity to identify their gifts, under the guidance of a group of Year 11 leaders who shared their own journeys of growth. Thank you to Mr Mike Pickford for guiding these emerging leaders. Conducted along the Swan River foreshore, the Year 9 Galilee Retreat was a significant component of Rite Journey Week in Term 4. A beautiful chance to reflect on the life of Jesus and his own journey, the Retreat contributed to the powerful year of spiritual growth for the developing young men. Year 10 students were challenged to develop their sense of being a ‘man for others’ at their Retreat in Term 2.

leading such inspiring sessions, as well as other staff who were there as group leaders.

From cleaning up the Bicton and Attadale foreshores, to helping local primary school students, sorting donations at St Patrick’s Community Support Centre or cooking meals to be distributed to those in need, our students learnt the very real lesson that we are part of something bigger than ourselves. Back at school, we gathered them together to reflect on the experience and the call to continued service. During their Retreat, Year 11 students were privileged to hear personal stories from the lives of their teachers as, through the lens of the Stations of the Cross, we explored the idea of the rise and fall we all experience on our personal journey. Thank you especially to Mrs Catherine Fry-Walker, Miss Chloe Lynn, Mrs Shayni Nelson, and Mr Zachary Preston for

At the end of the academic year, Year 11 students wishing to further explore their spiritual journey participated in the Kairos Retreat. I thank Year 12 graduates Thomas Dark, James Nelson and Griffin Williams, as well as alumnus Rohan Groves (Class of 2020) for returning to help provide this uplifting and transformative experience for the students.

Thanks also to members of the Kairos 2021 team: Mr Ian Binet, Miss Emily Bowran, Mr Kim Delury, Mr Jeremy Peris, Ms Marilyn Schmidt and Ms Lisa Speranza.

We are so fortunate to have an incredible group of people at CBC who are excellent role models for our young men. I am constantly gladdened by their courage in sharing their authentic stories at our Retreats. Thank you also to our parents for their support of our endeavours at CBC, and God Bless.

Goodness is its own reward. MR MATTHEW STOCKTON SERVICE LEARNING COORDINATOR

Service Learning at CBC continues to be a stalwart of our foundation in forming tomorrow’s gentlemen. Through a selfless lens, the students have found cause to promote the dignity and worth of all in the community. An exciting initiative undertaken in 2021 was our Year 7 Adopt a Beach programme, where students learnt the importance of stewardship and how their actions can impact on the natural environment. Working in partnership with Cottesloe Coast Care and Perth NRM, CBC was responsible for maintaining and rehabilitating a small area of the Cottesloe and South Beach coastline. Each fortnight, a group of students worked tirelessly, weeding, mulching, planting and cleaning the beachfront. Some sessions were undertaken in collaboration with the students from Iona Presentation College – further promoting our collaborative ties to our sister school. The students loved to participate in our regular activities, such as Streetwise Charity Car Cruise, East Hamilton Hill Primary’s Goodstart Breakfast and St Patrick’s Community Centre. Pleasingly, many chose to selflessly give back to their local communities by finding service opportunities of their own.

Having missed out in 2020, the Year 10 cohort took the opportunity to assist various organisations through their Retreat day. The stewardship and care of creation through planting numerous native seedlings along the Bicton and Attadale foreshores was a popular option, as was working in solidarity with students at Mel Maria Primary in the preparation and planning of their own vegetable garden. The Year 11 cohort participated in an optional service day once formal classes had concluded for the year, and committed to an organisation of their choice for a day. Service Learning was fortunate to collaborate with other learning areas this year. Partnering with The Salvation Army through our Rite Journey Programme in a Beyond the Classroom experience, students came face to face with people living on the streets of Perth. The programme was well received and taken up by the students.

Students also supported St Patrick’s Basilica where, once a term, Rite Journey groups assisted with garden maintenance. On the sporting field we joined Mazenod College in an orange sock game for On My Feet, an organisation established by CBC alumnus From running sporting Ayden Doohan (‘12) to support homeless goods donation drives through on their local clubs, cooking for the homeless people journey back to and mentoring younger students mainstream society.

Always was, always will be. MRS SHARON HOOKWAY INDIGENOUS RECONCILIATION COORDINATOR

We were privileged to be able to hold a plethora of events throughout 2021, encouraging our young men to develop a deeper understanding of Indigenous culture and to acknowledge the past. This year’s National Reconciliation Week ran with the theme of ‘More than a word’. The week commenced with Sorry Day, which the boys learnt is still very relevant. This was supported by a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony performed by Elder Betty Garlett. It was an emotional moment to look around our Cloisters at the students gathered on the balconies to watch the lighting of the ceremonial fire, and observe almost every young man walk through the smoke, reflecting on Indigenous history and our own role to play in the healing process. Students also created a banner on which they wrote all the different ways we can actively support reconciliation. CBC students, families and staff then took the banner on a walk around the streets of Fremantle to action our support and make an impact in the wider community. Troy Bennell visited our school from Bunbury, sharing a few yarns and playing the digeridoo in the Cloisters. Meanwhile boys with energy to burn played ‘King of the Pack’ with ex-Dockers legends Troy Cook and Brady Grey. The NAIDOC Week theme was Heal Country and CBC students gathered in the Cloisters during lunchtimes for discussion while creating chains out of skeins of fibre. At the end of the week the large plane tree in the Cloisters was yarnbombed as a reminder that we should all respect the land on which we live. Our Year 7 boys enjoyed an exciting day of NAIDOC celebrations. Derek Nannup visited the College and talked about hunting and gathering, played the didj and told some yarns.

and traditional style of art, and there were also sessions on language and culture. We ended the week with the Year 9 Catering students showcasing their damper-making skills using some ingredients from our very own Bush Tucker garden! Every Tuesday morning before school, the Indigenous students gathered for breakfast and tutor squad. During NAIDOC Week the boys invited friends to attend a session and learn more about their fellow students’ culture and background. CBC alumnus Harry Golding (’17) dropped in to talk about what he is up to now and how he is still linked to his culture and community. The tutor squad also visited St Patrick’s Primary School for Indigenous Literacy Day, reading to the students and sharing their cultural understandings. A game of AFL with CBC versus Clontarf Aboriginal College on Fremantle Oval was a dynamic way to engage our students. It has been a pleasure to watch the boys lead by example and contribute to College activities, presenting Acknowledgement of Country at our events, and advocating for reconciliation and the national process of healing. We are particularly proud of Marcus Hayden, who has been an incredible role model for our younger Indigenous boys. In his final year at CBC, Marcus was selected to represent WA in the VETiS Australian World Skills Metals Engineering competition, and as a result of his quest for personal excellence, he obtained a sheetmetal fabrication apprenticeship. Marcus has developed into a quiet achiever, with strong connections to his Noongar heritage. At our annual Awards Evening, along with eight of his peers, Marcus received an Edmund Rice Award, which is the College’s highest accolade. I thank all of our tutor group for everything that they do. We are blessed to have them as part of our community.

Stewards of the Earth. MR CHRIS SELLINGS ECOLOGY COORDINATOR

Aiming to reduce waste, reuse where possible and recycle as a last resort, boys have been developing an Ecology space within the College designed to strengthen connections between students and nature and build awareness of global climate issues. Using our own Bush Tucker garden, boys across all year groups were involved in designing and planting the landscape.

The garden is flourishing, and the students took delight in creating concrete stepping stones that were inset with decorated pebbles for our thriving patch.

The boys also created plant labels to reflect the properties of the Indigenous food and medicine. Encouraging cycling as a method of transport, we built a new covered shed to offer protection from the elements, ran maintenance workshops and restored

donated bikes to raise money for spare tubes and tools. It was encouraging to see an increasing number of students riding to school this year and taking advantage of our initiatives. Containers for Change bins were introduced for each House and so far the boys have collected more than 3,000 containers. Wedd Cup points were attributed to the House with the fullest bin and Year 11 House Captains will be taking all proceeds to a local charity of their choice. Holding online meetings with other schools as part of our Edmund Rice Beyond Borders’ Ecology focus was an important method of discussing ideas, sharing tips and maintaining enthusiasm for what can sometimes seem a daunting task. In 2022, the Ecology club is planning to continue to build awareness and support by engaging with Edmund Rice Beyond Borders, organising incursions and developing teaching resources to use with the Bush Tucker garden.

Inclusivity in word and deed. MS LEANNE OGDEN INCLUSIVITY COORDINATOR

As part of our activities at CBC that aim to promote inclusivity, we started off 2021 with a launch of an inclusive language initiative on Harmony Day. Our Mentor classes learned the importance of choosing words that are respectful of all people and were able to explore the reasons why we use inclusive terms at CBC. A follow-up programme with Years 9 to 10 provided an in-depth look at the power of words and their impact on others, with students debunking the myths and examining the true purpose of inclusive language. Diversity Day this year was jam-packed with activities relating to Ability. We had students complete the wheelchair challenge to raise money for Rebound WA, a charity that helps people with physical disabilities. The boys had to get around the school in a wheelchair and we raised $760 thanks to the generous sponsorship of family and friends. As well as this, students in Year 10 Sports Science participated in a wheelchair basketball workshop and the feedback highlighted both how difficult and how much fun it was. Year 8 students took part in a workshop that helped them understand the perspective of people who are visually and hearing impaired, and have learning difficulties or Autism. Finally, a select group of students attended a workshop by Inclusion Solutions that focussed on the changes in our fast-growing world. We learnt to be open-minded and respectful of all, regardless of our differences.

SHORTCUTS Liberating Education • Term 4

12 October Our boys spent some time with some cute and cuddly (and some slithery) creatures for a little bit of animal therapy as part of Mental Health Week today. Meet the Animals gave our boys the chance to learn a little bit more about all sorts of creatures, from frogs and snakes to llamas and donkeys, as well as enjoying the mental health benefits of cuddling a dog or baby chick!

19 October Our Year 11 Business Management and Enterprise students put their entrepreneurial skills to the test last week with their annual Market Day! The food stalls took many weeks of careful planning and market research, with the boys using everything they’ve learnt in class this year.

13 October It was a sunny and crisp morning for our Mental Health Week Walk through the streets of Fremantle before school. The event was a fantastic opportunity to catch up for a chat while keeping active – two great ways to help stay mentally healthy.

19 October Last week our Year 11 Politics and Law students had an informative excursion to the Supreme, District and Magistrates Courts. Later in the afternoon, they paid a visit to Parliament House, overlooking Perth.

4 November 10 November You could have heard a pin drop at our Remembrance Day ceremony in the Cloisters. Our young gentlemen were sombre and reflective as they participated in the College’s traditional laying of the crosses under the flagpoles as part of the special event.

This week our Year 9 young men were challenged with a gruelling hike and solo camping experience in the vast golden paddocks of Edmund Rice College in Bindoon. The time away from family, school and devices encourages a connection with their own inner strength and faith, and creates a powerful bond with their peers and Rite Journey teachers that can last a lifetime.

17 November It’s always great to see our boys join community celebrations and some of our gentlemen represented the College at the Blessing of the Fleet. The ceremony is an annual tradition adopted by many fishing villages and ports throughout the world to bless the fishing fleet before the opening of the season.

2 December What a fantastic culmination of a year of creativity! Our talented young men were excited to receive the first edition of the College’s anthology Trove, which is a collection of short stories, visual art pieces and media art posters.

18 November The Rite Journey programme concluded for our Year 9 students at their Homecoming ceremony. The developing young men were symbolically returned to their parents by their Rite Journey teachers. It was a wonderful sight to see these proud gentlemen being honoured by their community after their incredible year of growth and development.

23 November A huge thank you to the Year 11 gentlemen who took part in Optional Service Day. One group of boys got busy in the kitchen in collaboration with 5000 Meals, a community organisation that uses supermarket seconds to feed those in need around the metropolitan area.

RELIGION AND LIFE MR DANIEL BATEMAN HEAD OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

As the first learning area in every Catholic school, Religious Education is an integral part of the formation of students in the image of Christ. At CBC Fremantle, Religion and Life operates as part of a Head, Heart and Hands approach to an education, reflective of the lives and values of Jesus Christ and our Patron, Blessed Edmund Rice.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE MS MARILYN SCHMIDT ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE PROGRAMME COORDINATOR

The criteria to be invited to join the Academic Excellence Programme (AEP) are set at a high standard and the boys invited achieve outstanding results. However, the AEP is so much more than results and scores. The programme encourages and celebrates the learning of our gifted and talented students. It provides opportunities for these boys to be challenged and extended beyond the classroom curriculum. The AEP students continually strive for excellence. They inspire us all and we all benefit from their work, their ideas, their inventions and their solutions to problems. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, a number of our programmes and tours were again cancelled this year. We look forward to programmes such as World Scholar’s Cup and the BRAINways STEM School of Excellence starting again next year. The school-based groups that students participated in this year were Creative Writing, Debating, Media, Radio, Robotics and STEM. These groups presented their projects with pride and passion at the AEP Showcase held at the end of Term 3.

It’s a wrap. MISS LANA DE PALMA AEP MEDIA CLUB COORDINATOR

With a new name and a new classroom, it was no surprise that Media Club gained the attention of the new Year 7 boys at CBC Fremantle. Their interest in filmmaking was difficult to contain as they decided on possible productions in 2021, and it wasn’t long before the Year 7 Media Club was taking on a national film challenge. The Australian Teachers of Media (ATOM) one-minute film competition releases an annual theme that the film must explore, and the other major rule is that it absolutely must go for 60 seconds only! This year’s focus was ‘Connection’ and the eager Year 7 students got to work brainstorming for their first CBC Fremantle short film. We all finally decided on an idea that highlighted our addiction to our phones and the frightening scenario of

us losing internet connection for one day. Would we still be able to connect with one another without it?

The students are to be applauded on producing a fabulous one-minute film and were very pleased to submit it to the national competition.

With the influx of newly appointed Academic Excellence Programme badges midway through the year, it was amazing to see our number of Year 7 boys in Media Club double. It was no surprise that many of them wanted their next productions to be YouTube-style vlogs, where they could discuss any topic. With some new furniture, some ring-light magic and some very funny and charismatic young gentlemen, ‘The Couch’ was born. Students debated video games, discussed console types, and had intelligent conversations about Harry Potter and why Cristiano Ronaldo went back to Manchester United. With a jazzy, fun introduction it was great to see the Year 7 students enjoy their latest productions. Congratulations, gentlemen, on a creative and productive year. It’s a wrap!

This year has brought some challenges to the Robotics Club. With the annual Robocup competition at Curtin University being uncertain, our students were instead presented with the task to see who could build the fastest and strongest robot. It did not take our eager students long to rise to the new task and, led by Alex Vincenti and Alexander Epis, all students enjoyed the experience. Creative solutions, joyful success and excited industriousness made our Robotics Club get-togethers a lot of fun. Well done, lads! The boys who regularly attend and contribute to the Robotics Club are Tadhg Bryan, Evan Di Nicolis, Alexander Epis, Alessandro Estrano, Heath Johnson, William Pickett, Harrison Rainbird, Xavier Smith, Peter Sturrock, and Alex Vincenti.

Exciting world of STEM. MS MARILYN SCHMIDT AEP COORDINATOR

During 2021 the STEM group met every Tuesday after school seeking to increase their knowledge and develop their creativity, problemsolving, critical thinking and communication skills. During the first semester, with help and expertise from Mr John Rear, the boys learnt all about drones. They explored safety issues, designed flight paths and had a lot of fun flying remote-controlled drones in the gym. Using Python coding, they were then challenged to write programs to fly the machines from their computers. Take-offs, landings, changing altitudes and directions, and even flips and rolls were programed and successfully tested. During the second semester, the boys learnt about the binary number system and were challenged to write any ordinary

number in ones and zeros. These boys love Maths and quickly understood the concept of different bases, and especially Base-2 used in computer science. Bits and bytes were discussed from a mathematical perspective and the boys thoroughly enjoyed understanding these fundamentals. Engineering and designing are always favourite activities and the latter part of the year was devoted to building structures to show how the laws of physics and engineering are integrated in our daily lives. Creative inspiration was taken from the Lego display made by the winners of Lego Masters, which the boys visited during Term 1. The students enjoyed designing levers, cranes, gears and pulleys, and an imposing Eiffel Tower was built for the AEP Showcase evening.

A final highlight during Term 4 was to visit FBR, which is an innovative company that designs, develops, builds and operates dynamically stabilised robots to address global needs. The boys were able to see the automated bricklaying system and robots destined to revolutionise the building and construction industry. We are very grateful to Mr Mark Pivac for this incredible opportunity. Thank you to Mr Evgeny Bespalov, Mr Ian Binet, Mr André Leicester and Mr John Rear for their guidance of this group of amazing boys.

The deep well of creative writing. MS MAI BARNES AEP CREATIVE WRITING COORDINATOR

The Creative Writing Club is all about writing fiction, eating food and having fun. After its inception in 2020, the club solidified this year and there is now a core group of imaginative and spirited students from Years 7 to 12. Boys work in a collaborative environment whereby all writing is shared and celebrated together.

following piece by Thomas Stevenson about the life of a pumpkin:

Budding novelist Jarran Bathgate-Mitchell worked on longer pieces of fiction this year, while Oscar Doye developed his gritty, multi-layered action stories. Xavier Smith produced a range of creative pieces across different genres from comedy to surrealism.

But yes. The pumpkin lies in wait, skin growing on thick, a defence against those seeking its sweet and juicy insides. But Harvest comes, as it always does, and a knife cleaves it from its stem.

Students also produced a short piece of writing each week in response to given prompts. These required students to create characters, settings or ‘microfiction’, capturing fleeting moments in time. One prompt required students to write an origin story for a fruit or a vegetable, inspiring the

A lesser vegetable would up and wither in a matter of weeks or days; the pumpkin knows no such mortality. It endures, and stays, and is loaded into cold storage. Its day of Reckoning and Baking and being Soupified still eludes our Humble Pumpkin, and so it waits again. This time in a colder place, with no Sunfire. Thanks to all of the students involved for their time, commitment and enthusiasm.

Embracing our learning diversity. MS LARRISA DODSWORTH HEAD OF ACADEMIC CARE

Academic Care staff and students have had a great year developing their own unique gifts and talents in all aspects of their studies, celebrating successes and diversity of learning styles. From small-group tutorials in Science with Mrs Alana Edwards on the changing states of matter, involving making homemade ice-cream and butter, to learning that the Latin morpheme ‘struct’ means build in FLIP, the AC students have embraced the opportunity to access their learning in smaller, focussed groups.

Miss Thatcher has been available to support the boys with their wellbeing, social skills and managing all the ins and outs of school. Finally, in Term 3 we were excited to open our very own AC room. Room 104 is now the space where students can sit tests in small groups and chill out at lunchtime. We were lucky to receive a huge number of donations from the community to set up the room as a sensory environment as well as a teaching space. The AC room has fit balls, fidgets, mats, beanbags, Lego, games, puzzles and wobble stools to allow boys to let out their stresses and wiggles in a safe environment. We hope the room will develop as a place for affirming diversity and a reminder to students about how many hugely successful people have a learning difference – be it ADHD, ASD, dysgraphia, dyslexia, hearing loss or hypermobility, we celebrate the neuroatypical and the gifts that brings.

THE ARTS MR SHANE MANCUSO HEAD OF THE ARTS

This year the Arts department has been very productive, with a variety of performances and exhibitions entertaining and enlightening our community. The Witches Drama production in Term 1 started off the year with sell-out shows, and we were grateful that it could be performed with limited COVID-19 restrictions. Mrs Rosalba Jeffreys stepped in at the last minute to perform in one of the lead roles due to Harrison Ricci being unwell for the performances, and we are so grateful that she took on this extra role as it allowed the students to still show all of their hard work to full houses every night. In the month of May, the annual Music camp was held for students involved in our band programme. It was a great success and helped to focus our energies for upcoming events. Some performances held during the year included the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools, the Ellington Jazz Club, CBC Music Festival and public performances in Yagan Square and Forrest Place. We began to investigate a possible 2022 regional tour to take our musicians on the road to perform in the Wheatbelt and also the coastal towns of Geraldton and Kalbarri. This is an exciting initiative being organised and funded by the Music Parent Group. Our Visual Arts and Media classes have been busy developing their individual and group works for projects as part of their ATAR and General classes. The students also entered the Angelico Art Exhibition, where Hugo Pollard (Year 12) received first place in the drawing category for his exceptional piece Ashtray. Media Club has been a new initiative this year, and a dedicated group of Year 7 students attended after school sessions to create a regular YouTube-style channel titled The Couch. Each episode had a different topic that they scripted, recorded and edited. We aim to have this as an addition to the co-curricular programme for Media students to engage in. In 2022, to better support staff and students as part of the College’s continued development, I will be moving into a new and exciting role as Director of Music. I would like to thank everyone with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working as Head of the Arts and look forward to beginning this new journey and focus on the Music side of our dynamic department. Along with this restructure, it is with great sadness that we farewell Mrs Stephanie Hantzis, who has been job-sharing the Visual Art teaching position with Ms Zoe Francis. We wish Mrs Hantzis all of the best for the future and thank her so much for an amazing contribution to the Visual Art programme.

Drama is for life. MR KIM DELURY & MRS ROSALBA JEFFREYS DRAMA TEACHERS

Drama hit the ground running in 2021. Each year has a different specific focus but all years were working towards improving vital life skills of communication, self-confidence and becoming empathetic human beings. The Year 7 students’ introduction to Drama was full of energetic group work to rediscover their own strengths in imagination and ability to build friendships and trust in the group. The basics of Drama skills were learnt through games and improvisations, allowing play to resurface and, with it, creativity and imagination. Year 8 boys had time to branch out into old and new types of theatre. With the old, they hid behind masks and fabric to discover a little of the history of Western theatre, reenacting Greek Mythology with their own personal twist. The new provided pairs of boys with the opportunity to be realistic in scripted performances of their choice. Personal expression was explored in Year 9. Humour abounded with comic scenarios around a theme; classic presentation style was adopted to express Aboriginal Dreamtime stories; an individual script was developed that explored connection to our country’s roots and the student’s own personal history, with research into a familiar relative or historical

character they admired; and lastly was a fun-filled task that brought all the skills together – comedy, realism, history and self-devised – in creating and performing their own concept of Christmas. In Year 10 the diving board for upper school became a little more structured and made for more psychological exploration of the

“The memories of the performances, the camaraderie of class work, the understandings gained are forever.”

subject of Drama. More time given to the subject allowed for writing, directing and producing their own creations and it proved to be a great opportunity for this close group to express their views on their lives in a safe environment. Upper school Drama, whether it be ATAR or General, is such a leap into a broad creative experience. A deeper examination

of Theatre and Drama from world texts and exploration of new and vibrant experimental theatre expanded the students’ individualism. Their confidence in their own capabilities and trust in their peers made for exciting class work. The highlight of the year is always the Drama production and this year it went full steam ahead. Kick-started at the end of 2020, Roald Dahl’s The Witches in Term 1 this year was a resounding success, albeit to a reduced audience capacity due to COVID-19 restrictions. The exciting and fun performance was the winner of the Catholic Schools Performing Arts Drama Secondary Productions award, which is such an incredible achievement for our boys and the second time we have won this. The four EREA Touchstones flourish in the long and close-working relationships when putting on a production. The learning experienced in Drama has lifelong repercussions. The memories of the performances, the camaraderie of class work and the understandings gained are forever. We thank every one of the cast and crew for their outstanding commitment to achieving their best and providing our community with quality entertainment.

The wide world of Media. MISS LANA DE PALMA MEDIA ART TEACHER This year Media was offered from Year 7 through to ATAR, and all students were able to develop skills in photography, cinematography and editing. Year 7 boys explored the world of stop-motion for a term. They created their narrative, designed and built sets and characters, followed by taking approximately 500 photographs using a point-and-shoot camera. The final productions were edited with music and sound effects to produce entertaining stop-motion videos that everyone enjoyed showing off to their peers. During a semester’s study of Media Arts, Year 8 students explored photography and advertising. They learned what representations were and had the challenge of producing a series of photographs that best depicted who they are. In groups, students also devised a 30-second commercial for a major brand following on from a current campaign. “Did someone say KFC?” was heard regularly! Year 9 Media students explored Steven Spielberg as a director and produced amazing recreations of scenes from some of his famous films, such as Indiana Jones, ET and Jurassic Park. Students were tasked with coming up with their own film poster, and many took up the Horror genre challenge. They also wrote film reviews for My Octopus Teacher before producing their own documentaries.

The Year 10 students explored all the different sub-genres of the Horror classification and identified what makes an audience jump in fright. They came up with their own ideas and produced humorous horror scenes with all the clichés. Semester 2 focussed on more serious and prevalent issues in our society. We explored the

“The Year 12 students had a fabulous final year as the original Media students and highlighted why the course is going to be popular for years to come.” Australian documentary The Backtrack Boys and examined youth stereotypes. Students were then tasked with creating a persuasive film trailer for an original documentary idea. The Year 11 General Media Production & Analysis students compared earlier Batman movies with contemporary versions before producing an origin story short film with an original superhero. From FingaGunz to BrainWave, the students had fun creating their own characters.

Journalism was the next unit of work and identifying what makes something newsworthy allowed students to understand why some items are more prevalent than other stories. The Social Dilemma documentary was a great way to question the use of social media, and students then produced their own news story on this topic. Year 12 ATAR Media Production & Analysis, students planned their final production piece to submit to SCSA. There was a lot riding on their final task, as it accumulated to 50 percent of their final course grade, and their final pieces were a testament to their commitment to achieving personal excellence. Media as an art form consumed much of our class time, with students exploring various auteurs including the Coen Brothers, Christopher Nolan and Wes Anderson. Propaganda films were also on the list, and the boys weren’t aware that Walt Disney had produced propaganda films for American audiences during the second world war. David Michôd’s Animal Kingdom was the final film study for the year. Students viewed the Australian crime film and identified a number of genre tropes that differed from traditional crime films due to its Australian setting. The Year 12 students had a fabulous final year as the original Media students and highlighted why the course is so popular.


Art from the Heart. MS ZOE FRANCIS & MRS STEPHANIE HANTZIS ART TEACHERS For the Visual Art course, 2021 has been a year full of creativity and achievement. Art students have worked with curiosity and patience to design a range of visual inspirations from the production areas of drawing, mixed media, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture and ceramics. This year CBC entered the Annual Angelico Art Exhibition. This exhibition is an opportunity for all Catholic schools from around the entire state to enter and exhibit artworks completed in Semester 1 this year. Once again, we were honoured by the achievements of our students and we celebrate their exceptional accomplishments. A special mention goes to one of our Year 12 students, Hugo Pollard who was awarded first prize in the Senior 2D category section of this exhibition for his stunning coloured pencil and pen study titled Ashtray. On the evening of Wednesday 27 October, the CBC community was invited to attend the official opening of the Visual Art exhibition in our new Year 12 Learning Centre. The colourful and confident works were displayed throughout the space, both upstairs and down. We also had Media Art join our visual display with film and still works.

Year 7 students developed a range of both 2D and 3D pieces inspired by Australian and International artists. A number of boys from Year 8 Semester 1 had the opportunity to work with a local Indigenous artist and create a series of small dot paintings, which then lead them on to create a series of print works. Semester 2 students work was based around 2D and 3D forms exploring the theme of ‘self’.

“The senior students were once again the highlight of the Visual Art Exhibition, with Year 11 and 12 artists producing bodies of work based around environment and social themes.” Year 9 students stepped back in time to capture old school gaming consoles and characters, with their designs being used to encase skateboard desks. They then moved on to immerse themselves in all things Mexican to create uniquely inspired mixed media skulls and ceramic tiles.

Year 10 students took part in the annual Sculpture by the Sea public art exhibition and worked with one of the exhibiting artists to develop large scale fluid inspired objects made out of cane. In class the students developed their visual perception skill set, transforming 2D into 3D in the form of wire contour head sculptures inspired by David Oliveri, exquisitely detailed biro human organ studies and mastering the traditional skill of oil painting based on a sweet treat theme! The senior students were once again the highlight of the Visual Art exhibition, with Year 11 and 12 artists producing bodies of work based around environment and social themes. Congratulations goes to Year 12 student, Jacob Mondi, for receiving the Principal’s Choice Award for his refined pencil study capturing snapshots of his Nonna. A large number of boys received Excellence in Art awards on the night for their commitment and dedication to the programme in 2021. Congratulations to all the boys who participated enthusiastically in the Visual Arts – we thank you. Your growth and openness have been exemplary and you have allowed your strength to shine.

Music makes magic. MR SHANE MANCUSO HEAD OF THE ARTS

Our students in the Music programme completed a very productive 12 months with many appearances, including the Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools and the Ellington Jazz Club, as well as the College’s Music Performance Evening and Music Festival. These regular events were accompanied by some initiatives from Catholic Arts where we had the Jazz Orchestra and Jazz Combo performing in Yagan Square and Forrest Place. Jazz Fremantle invited our musicians to perform as part of their youth winter series and we also had the Rock Band involved in the Fremantle Festival’s Future Treasures evening. It is always pleasing to have our musicians performing out in the community and we hope to continue this in the future. This year we began to investigate a possible 2022 north-west tour to take our musicians on the road to perform in the Wheatbelt, Geraldton and Kalbarri. This is an exciting initiative being

organised and funded by the CBC Music Parent Group. We’re looking forward to many public concerts, performances at local primary schools and lots of sightseeing along the way. I hope our students gain a greater appreciation of our more remote parts of Western Australia and also how rewarding it is to engage with communities in these areas.

“It is always pleasing to have our musicians performing out in the community and we hope to continue this in the future.” Our Instrumental programme is supported by our classroom lessons where students in Years 7 to 12 gain experience in composing electronic music, discovering the basic language of music, and explore

various styles as well as how sound and music is captured for film. We are now using a range of cloud-based software that enables students to continue completing work from home if the need arises, and also to enjoy being able to access their music projects anytime from any device. Thank you to all our Music teachers Mr Kim Anning, Mr Alex Borthwick, Mr Robert Bresland, Ms Claire Keet, Mr Harrison Mitchell, Ms Catherine Noblet, Mrs Emma Tandy, Mr Luciano Trebse, Mr Manoli Vouyoucalos and Mr Tim Woolley. Their dedication for educating our Music students is greatly appreciated. Lastly, thank you to our Music Parent Group. This hard-working group enables our musicians to have meaningful performance experiences and allows all of our community to enjoy seeing our CBC boys showcase their talents on the stage.

For the love of language. MISS EMILY BOWRAN HEAD OF ENGLISH

The English Learning Area has enjoyed a rewarding and exciting 2021. At the beginning of the year we welcomed three new and energetic teachers to our team. Ms Cheree Dobra, Ms Jenaé Fynn and Ms Chloe Sullivan all jumped straight into the CBC way of life, working tirelessly to engage and inspire their students. In Term 1 we introduced the Education Perfect English programme, which was curated and implemented by Ms Shayni Nelson, the College’s Literacy Coordinator. Each week, Years 7 to 9 students were assigned grammar, punctuation and reading activities with the aim of improving their writing levels so that they leave our community as confident communicators. From there, as always, the year felt like it went by in the blink of an eye. The students produced some fantastic work and took many a trip to Mr Burgio’s office to share and celebrate their successes. The lower school boys created multimodal autobiographies, ‘zines, persuasive podcasts and short stories, while those in upper school wrote combined essays, persuasive speeches and memoirs, to name just a few. In order to best support the boys through these and countless other tasks, the English staff provided lots of opportunities for additional assistance outside of class time. Every Tuesday morning there were ATAR exam preparation sessions, Wednesday afternoon was time for English Help, and Friday morning was Literature

The world around us. MR ALEXANDER HALL HEAD OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES

Another year has flown past with a number of significant global occurrences, including devastating wildfires in the Arctic, California, Canada and the Amazon, flooding in several areas and another recordbreaking year of temperatures worldwide. There have also been further economic impacts of COVID-19 lockdowns and trade frictions involving a number of nations. Studying Humanities has never been so important and critical. At CBC Fremantle the Humanities department teaches our students to foster social justice and equality. Students learn how to weigh evidence sceptically and consider all angles in every question. They are encouraged to think critically and logically through collaboration, engagement and inquiry. They are provided with the necessary tools to enable them to think for themselves. There have been many engaging activities for students in 2021. One of the highlights included the Year 10 Welcome to Work Day. Nineteen businesses attended and gave the students an insight into the qualifications, pathways and experience needed to undertake a range of occupations ranging from engineering to becoming a lawyer. During HASS week, which was unfortunately interrupted by a COVID-19 lockdown, students were still able to compete in an inter-House escape room activity, with teams of five students working 120

Travels in Italian culture and language. MRS SILVIA ROMAGNOLI HEAD OF ITALIAN

In 2021 there were six Italian classes and 139 students and, despite travel restrictions due to COVID-19, the boys travelled to Italy inside the classroom, enjoying many linguistic and cultural adventures. A highlight of 2021 was much-awaited Language Week, which transformed the College Cloisters into an Italian piazza. Students immersed themselves in il Belpaese. They practised their language skills buying pizza and gelato, and enjoyed music and dance from the folk band Anninora. As a finale, the CBC Education Perfect Italian Cup inspired healthy competition. We triumphed over closed international borders to bring a little slice of Italy to us! The Year 7 boys displayed a passion for learning the bella lingua. The students blitzed the beginner tasks, such as learning the alphabet and basic conversation skills. They worked extra hard to grasp more difficult components of the language, such as describing themselves, their family and their favourite things. They put it all into action by introducing themselves – in Italian of course – in their speaking task, and ordering their gelato during Language Week. The Year 8 students developed their language skills with the topic andiamo a

mangiare (let’s eat). The boys designed their own restaurant concept, and the cherry on top of their Italian learning was role-playing al ristorante. This became the highlight of Terms 1 and 3. The boys quickly became connoisseurs of traditional Italian sports, musical instruments and pastimes.

of Western Australia and had the chance to meet previous CBC boys who are currently studying Italian. Finally, they celebrated their dedication with a class pizza party as a well-deserved reward for winning the College Italian Education Perfect competition.

The Year 9 boys delved into more content and grammar. In Term 3, they experienced Italian culture and learnt about Italian heritage in Fremantle at the Maritime Museum, and also directly from immigrants

The Year 11 boys focussed on their ATAR course. In Semester 1 they used new language related to their relationships with family and friends, and the focus in Semester 2 was content about travelling. They experienced an immersion in Italy and its attractions, and practised skills like booking hotels based on authentic travel reviews in Italian from websites such as Tripadvisor.

who shared their stories – and their mouthwatering food – at the Italian Club. The Year 10 boys embraced different topics and new writing and speaking challenges. As the grammar and tasks became more complex, the boys extended themselves and demonstrated their commitment to their Italian studies. In Term 1 the boys took part in language activities at the University

The Year 12 students can now consider themselves experienced speakers of the Italian language. They embarked on a three-day language immersion journey through the Italian camp, where they practised their Italian and grew their friendships with students from another school. We congratulate them on their dedication and commitment to their studies, and wish them well for their future. In bocca al lupo ragazzi!

THE IDEA SHOP MS MELISSA BAINES LIBRARIAN

During Term 1, the Idea Shop was abuzz with energy and activity. The CBC Airlines Flight Simulator was a hit, with the boys eager to book their spot to captain an aircraft. The Academic Excellence Programme Radio group recommenced and our senior boys provided expertise and guidance to their peers. Mr Aaron Brunskill warmed up the 3D printer and the boys produced many new designs. The term ended with the Idea Shop farewelling Ms Trevanna Cooper after 40 years of incredible service to the CBC community. We wish Ms Cooper well in her retirement and thank her for a career beautifully invested. The Idea Shop made the most of all 11 weeks of Term 2. Miss Indigo Kuhaupt dedicated her Tuesday lunches to providing the boys with a space to enjoy silent reading and a hot chocolate. Ms Michelle Eades continued to work with the boys on producing creative content for the television, with new displays weekly. Student volunteers assisted in to reorganising our shelves to proudly display a range of exceptional student work on loan from the Technologies learning area. HASS week was a highlight as the Library provided opportunities for the boys to engage with the world through virtual reality technology and inspiring documentaries. Term 3 began with an exciting week to celebrate one of our favourite book characters – Harry Potter. The boys borrowed books in exchange for Harry’s birthday cake, practised their spells, amazed us with their knowledge in a quiz and dressed up for a themed photobooth. Lego Club was launched, and boys from across the College worked together to build a challenging 6,000 piece Hogwarts Castle. Speed cubing Fridays also commenced in Term 3 – led by our Year 7 boys, this exciting club has been a huge success. Book Week was a highlight of the year. The Library staff dressed up and the Idea Shop was decorated in a spooky Goosebumps theme. The Library staff delivered Uber Reads books to teachers’ desks and a BookFlix display of books encouraged the boys not to judge a book by its movie. Jacob Carrello, Adrian Menner and Mrs Veronica Carter were all winners in the Geography Book Challenge, where they matched the highest number of book titles to a corresponding map. The new Teacher Professional Learning Hub was launched, supporting our extraordinary teachers with up-to-date, evidenced-based teaching and learning resources. Term 4 brought better weather, and a FlipGrid book review competition enabled the Library team to treat the winning boys to a personalised ice-cream sundae station in the Idea Shop café. Hot chocolate Tuesdays turned into iced chocolate Tuesdays, with more than 30 boys continuing to take advantage of the flexible reading spaces each week. An innovative revision hub provided our Year 11 and 12 boys with dedicated exam revision resources, inspiring them through to the end of term.

The measure of Mathematics. MR ANDRE LEICESTER HEAD OF MATHS

It was another good year for Maths at CBC, with our students achieving outstanding results in Olympiads and competitions, and excellent results in their assessments. This year, all our Mathematics teachers engaged in subject-specific professional development, allowing them to create and implement new teaching strategies and ensuring that the Mathematics department keeps up with current teaching standards and continues to meet all Australian Curriculum requirements. The number of students choosing harder subjects – Mathematical Methods and Mathematics Specialist – has been declining throughout Australia for the past decade but this is not the case at CBC Fremantle. The number of students at CBC choosing these subjects remains high in comparison to previous years. In Year 11 2021, 79% of students chose ATAR Maths compared to 71% in 2019, while the number of students choosing to do the Maths Specialist course remains steady. These figures show that our boys are encouraged to attempt harder mathematical subjects and that they are prepared to give it a go. Our Maths staff ran Maths Help sessions twice a week after school, offering individual tutoring to all students. Boys continue to make excellent use of this service, with many regular attendees. Every student has had their respective classroom teacher present at different times, making it easier to cater for each student’s individual needs.

CBC Fremantle participates every year in the Have Sum Fun maths competition organised by the Mathematical Association of WA (MAWA). The event is separated into three categories: Junior (Years 7 and 8), Intermediate (Years 9 and 10) and Senior (Years 11 and 12). All events occur on two separate Fridays after school during Term 1, and our Mathematics Extension students volunteer to attend, giving up their time to participate and represent our College.

“The number of students choosing harder subjects – Mathematical Methods and Mathematics Specialist – has been declining throughout Australia for the past decade but this is not the case at CBC Fremantle.”

Only one team of six students was allowed to compete at each of these events; however, CBC Fremantle was allowed to take two teams given the large number of students who wished to participate. The Senior teams were formed by Lucas Contera, Luke Wyatt, Ryan Marrington, Jake Vearing and William Brown from Year 11, along with Liam Pintaudi, Jordan

Symington, Lachlan Klinberg, James Nelson, Samuel Yau and Marc Morolla from Year 12. The Intermediate teams consistsed of Andreas Piotrowski, Tobiasz Blaszczynski and Preston Cherry-Bayles from Year 9, along with Jack Sullivan, Samuel Pittard and Thomas Stipinovic from Year 10. Special mentions go to Oscar Holohan (Year 9), Noah Preston (Year 9), Aidan Nigli (Year 10) and Riley Woods (Year 10) for standing in as back-ups for the event. The Junior team consisted of Hayden Malaspina, Jonathan Brown and Samuel Sorgiovanni from Year 7, along with Harper Copp, Samuel Henderson-Kelly and Tyce Hatton from Year 8. The Australian Maths Competition (AMC) is an international event throughout Oceania where only the very best students are encouraged to take part. CBC Fremantle participates every year and all of the students in the Mathematics Extensions classes complete the question paper during their lesson. Of the 193 students who participated this year, we are very proud that 55% of the boys received a Credit or Distinction result, which represents a considerable increase on the previous year’s results. A special mention goes to Lachlan Sofield, who achieved a High Distinction and the Best in School award.

The great outdoors. MR MATT DODGSON AND MR BEN SHAW OUTDOOR EDUCATION TEACHERS

Years 8 to 10 Outdoor Education studies are based around experiential learning, where the students learn, develop, and integrate theoretical knowledge and practical skills in order to prepare for expeditions in their senior school years. Their development commenced in Year 8, with introductory skills in water safety and rescues, navigation and camp craft that each student needed to grasp in order to tackle the challenges of Year 9 Outdoor Ed. The Year 9 journey included more complex navigation and map reading, mountain biking, and rock climbing activities. These units not only enhanced the students’ practical skill level and theoretical output, but also provided opportunities for leadership development, understanding group dynamics, and challenging fears and perceptions. Year 10 students enjoyed canoeing, rock climbing, snorkelling, fishing, and camp craft. The boys applied the majority of these skills in an expedition-themed camp at Wellington Dam just out of Collie. The camp included porting and carrying all equipment via a two-hour canoe trip and an eight kilometre bushwalk, as well as setting up and managing a campsite.

The experience finished with a challenging and rewarding outdoor rock climb. The upper school programme is designed to challenge the students in terms of their relationship with nature and how they conduct themselves when in the outdoor realm. For many of our students this can be quite confronting as the expectation from Year 10 to Year 11 increases significantly. In

trace’ camp on Rottnest Island. Terms 2 and 3 consisted of canoeing and indoor rock-climbing, which offered an opportunity to not only demonstrate but also develop skills outside of their comfort zones. Term 4 provided the students with the chance to gain a life-long qualification as they sat for their recreational skipper’s ticket.

For the Year 12 Outdoor Education expedition a group of 20 students and three staff set off on a fiveday bushwalking and mountain biking adventure along the Cape to Cape trail in the south-west. The trail is roughly 125km long and is usually completed in five to seven days. The challenge was to complete more than 100km in just four days. To achieve this, the group started at Injidup Beach, some 23 kilometres from the northern end, and included a half-day leg of mountain biking.

The trek highlights included the incredible sunsets and landscapes, watching Taj Burrows catch a few waves, and supporting each other while fording rivers and coping with blisters until they finally arrived at the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse proud and elated at what they had achieved.

Cape to Cape Day 1 Meeting early in the morning on the first day, the group quickly set off for the bus ride to Injidup beach. After a short break watching Taj Burrow surf, hiking packs were fitted and the group headed off for a short 11 kilometre walk. The group quickly settled into the rhythm of the walk, enjoying the wonders of Quinninup Falls along the way.

Cape to Cape Day 2 Day two was the longest hiking day of some 20 kilometres, so the group awoke before the sun, ate breakfast and packed up camp ready to set off. “Soon after we left camp we encountered another small river crossing. The water crossing was wide and deep, we had to link arms to support each other across it.”

Cape to Cape Day 3 The third day was broken into three sections – a 10-kilometre morning hike, mountain biking for a few hours and the hike into the campsite for the final evening on the trail. “For me this final hike to the campsite was one of the most amazing parts of the expedition. The stoke of the class and teachers to reach the campsite mixed with the amazing beaches, rocks, waves and sunset.”

Cape to Cape Day 4 Although not the longest day, day four was by far the most challenging. “By this point I had six to seven blisters on my feet but I knew I could go for one more day even though it was still 15 kilometres.” “Walking the last 100 metres to the lighthouse was the best feeling ever, just knowing that we had walked this far. Looking back, I was amazed at how far we had come, I couldn’t even see where we had started from.”

Cape to Cape Day 5 “I would say the whole experience was really good for health in general, as physical and mental as it was, it was an opportunity to escape from the world and was like a detox for your mind.” “Although it was tough, the group chemistry made it feel breezy.” “We got to have deep conversations with people we usually wouldn’t talk to and learnt more about them.” “Campfire conversations was where we got to express how we felt to others and got to know how others were finding their experience.”

A wealth of health. MR ADRYAN WINNAN HEAD OF HEALTH & PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Physical Education at CBC Fremantle aims to engage the mind and body of our boys and develop them into active, knowledgeable and respectful young men. We achieve this by delivering diverse content whilst ensuring that we make each of our lessons contextual for the personal lives of each boy. In 2021, we were extremely fortunate to have Physical Education teachers with expert skillsets in certain areas, which ensures our programmes are accurate and maximised. A genuine passion for teaching through gameplay engaged our boys, who learn so much through action. Their learning was progressively sequenced to ensure that each student was challenged physically and cognitively, while providing all of our boys with the opportunity to succeed. Within Health Education, students were supported to identify attitudes and values for a healthy, active lifestyle, and to demonstrate values consistent with the prevention of both physical and mental ill-health. We promoted the acceptance of personal responsibility for their health and physical activity levels, respect for social justice principles and a commitment to personal achievement. Sports Science allowed passionate lovers of sport to gain further understanding of the intricacies of sporting environments, whilst providing a solid foundation for further study in Years 11 and 12. The courses were an equal split between the practical and theoretical components. Perhaps unsurprisingly, when choosing Sports Science as a subject, our young men focussed more on the word ‘sport’ than the word ‘science’! As such, we endeavoured to keep the theory as practical as possible. This is achieved through theory units such as fitness testing, training programme design, sports coaching and sports psychology, to name a few. Students were also able to experience different sports to those in the general Physical Education lessons, such as American football, badminton, volleyball, basketball, darts and floor hockey. I would like to acknowledge our dedicated and talented Physical Education department, who shared their unique attributes to continually improve each boy’s CBC experience and journey.

SENSATIONAL SCIENCE MR IAN BINET & MRS JENNIFER LAWLOR HEADS OF SCIENCE

Science is certainly spectacular, but at its heart Science is just a powerful method used to help us understand our universe. As such, Science is also far-reaching, incredibly deep and enlightening, and is a discipline populated by some of the keenest minds humanity has to offer. All their lives, our Year 12 students have unwittingly worked hard building up to the challenging and infinitely interesting concepts they come across in their final year, performing countless scientific experiments in their youth then covering them more formally at the College. Throughout their journey, students have been exposed to many and varied scientific concepts. Amongst many other experiences, Year 7 students applied the principles of forces and energy to design and build mousetrap cars; Year 8 boys used their research skills to dig deep into Western Australia’s resource industry; Year 9 scientists got reactive with chemical bonds before unleashing the power of the atom in some nuclear physics; and our Year 10 students were exposed to the vastness of space and the fragility of our beautiful planet. As fantastic as these ideas are, they relate to content covered in class. Our students’ experience of Science was further extended and enriched with the numerous excursions and guest presenters throughout the year. Our Years 7 and 8 students were treated to a visit from the Western Australian Birds of Prey Centre, in which they discovered the importance of a healthy ecosystem in sustaining the magnificent raptors on

display and were able to hold the eagles, falcons and owls. Our Year 10 boys attended a guest lecture from Sea Shepherd, who raised their awareness of the extent and danger of ocean pollution. The students were reminded that they can be proactive in helping with beach clean-ups and considering their use and disposal of plastics. Our Year 10 Support Science class went go-karting in support of their studies into motion, energy and forces. There were

Our Year 11 Integrated Science class explored our river systems with a visit to the Canning River Eco Education Centre. They also experienced an epic simulation of the result of run-off on the Swan River, where students observed first-hand the effects of oil spills and other industrial accidents, culminating in weekly water testing of the Swan River to monitor its health. The Year 11 Biology class enjoyed Rottnest Island, studying ecosystems of sand dunes,

rock platforms and salt lakes while working with quadrats and transects and performing population studies. This was interspersed with some swimming and snorkelling, and an impressive MasterChef contest that saw bungalow pitted against bungalow. The Year 12 Biology and Human Biology classes visited the Harry Perkins institute for Medical Research where they investigated biotechnology techniques, including current research into finding specific cancer genes to assist with targeted cancer treatments. They also use polymerised chain reactions to amplify genetic material, used gel electrophoresis techniques, toured the facility and met scientists working in their areas of passion. The Year 12 Human Biology class also went to the Perth Zoo where they studied adaptations for bipedalism in primates, including orangutans. The Year 12 Integrated Science class visited the Zoo as well in aid of their studies of biodiversity and adaptations. Of course, a highlight of the calendar is always National Science Week. This year it was bigger than ever as we joined forces with the Technologies learning area. With the theme of ‘Food: Different by Design’, the College was treated to bush tucker, building food towers using spaghetti and marshmallows, incredible dissections, liquid nitrogen ice cream and many other exciting activities. In addition to our courses, the Science department provided the opportunity for our students to take part in various competitions. This year some of our


Years 8 and 9 students entered the International Competitions and Assessments for School (ICAS) Science competition and our Years 11 and 12 Chemistry students sat the Australian National Chemistry Quiz. Our Extension Science classes also participated in the Murdoch University National Science Week Quiz Competition. Students achieving Distinctions or High Distinctions in these competitions were: Lucas Contera, Luke Wyatt (Year 11), Edward Astill, Willem Di Prinzio, Liam Pintaudi, Thomas Stevenson and Matthew Vasta (Year 12). Finally, we would like to congratulate Jed Stafford and Luke Wyatt on their successful acceptance into the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF), which is a 12-day residential program designed to expose students to the diverse study and career options available in STEM fields. All of these amazing activities could not have happened without the tireless support of our Science staff. We thank Mrs Clara Booth, Ms Rosemarie Boyhan, Miss Ali Connell, Mrs Alana Edwards, Mrs Hayley Gale, Dr Aidan Holohan, Mr John Hortense, Mr Louis Miller, Mrs Meagan Musson, Mrs Nirmala Narayanann, Mr Jeremy Peris, Mrs Petrina Richmond, Ms Angelina Sawyer and Ms Meaghan Simons for their hard work and promotion of the sciences. Of course, we must also give thanks to our wonderful students for the enthusiasm and effort they put in to their studies this year. Well done! Top left: Isaac Culnane in Science.

TECHNOLOGIES MR CRAIG JORDAN HEAD OF TECHNOLOGIES

Digital Technology at CBC continued to evolve during 2021. The emphasis on 21st century skills has shifted our courses towards enabling the students to feel comfortable and confident in developing abilities that will prepare them well for the future. Our Year 7 boys were introduced to the benefits of cloud computing via their immersion in Office 365. They are confident and competent in the use of this technology in their everyday school life. They had some exposure to coding and also dabbled in 3D modelling and mixed and virtual reality as well as animation techniques. The Year 8 students progressed their coding skills by programming landbased drones to perform automated tasks. Coding in Python programming language was developed from Year 7 and the boys enjoyed creating graphical outputs on their screens via the Python Turtle drawing module. A large part of their studies was also devoted to advancing their movie-making techniques, using the Adobe suite. The students in Year 9 placed an emphasis on digital multimedia skills using Photoshop, InDesign and other related Adobe software products, and developed their app creation skills. The students built on their animation techniques learnt in Year 7 and created

some amazing animations via the use of Adobe Animate.

fantastic, life-like models, including doughnuts you could almost eat.

Our Year 10 students explored game creation, web design and 3D modelling. Using advanced C++ coding to create feature-rich games on the Unity platform was a favourite activity with the boys. It was challenging and sometimes drew on all their resilience

The last term of Year 10 was a chance for these budding content creators to produce their own digital products, drawing on any combination of skills they have developed both at school and as hobbies. The quality of these projects was first class.

“The emphasis on 21st-century skills has shifted our courses towards enabling the students to feel comfortable and confident in developing abilities that will prepare them well for the future.” to get through, but their determination never wavered and some incredibly entertaining products were created. A change to building websites from the basic HTML and CSS languages had the students create some visually stunning sites, complete with online shops, checkouts and the modern online features we all use today. The 3D modelling was a leap from Year 7 and the boys created some

Our upper school students worked on VET certificates and the Applied Information Technology ATAR courses. All boys worked extremely hard and produced solid results throughout the year. The skills they developed in Years 7 to 10 laid a foundation for their success in upper school.

DESIGN TECHNOLOGIES In Design Technologies it was another busy year of manufacturing projects. Every year group has had the opportunity to make various wood, metal and food products, working from production drawings and recipes to learn the various skills required in this diverse learning area. We welcomed Ms Suzanne Walker as Catering Assistant, and she has seamlessly fitted into the food area. The Catering facility also received a facelift before the start of the school year to allow for a much-needed preparation space, as well as creating more work stations.

Our Year 7 students only have one term each in Materials and Catering, and were introduced to the vast number of tools, machines and resources available for use at CBC. They manufactured a pencil box and designed their own table tennis bat in Materials, and Catering students made various snack foods and produced their own healthy breakfast. Year 8 students choose one Design Technologies subject to study for a semester out of Catering, Materials, and Practical Engineering. Catering students carried on with their Year 7 experience by making diverse foods from flatbread, to pizza scrolls, to rocky road. Students then designed their own muffin, and were required to research and come up with their own recipe, order the ingredients and then make it. Materials students expanded their tool knowledge in Woodwork by making a toy car and designing their own chopping board, and were then introduced to sheet-metal skills by making a small spinner and a parts tray. In Practical Engineering, students enjoyed their first look at a fully design-based course where they drew 3D objects and immersed themselves in the manufacture and programming of soccerbots and battlebots. In Year 9, students have a whole year of their chosen electives so were really able to expand their hand and design skills to create a variety of products. Woodwork students made a maze box with the option of producing their own game board, designed and made a tablet-holding stand, manufactured a step stool, and made a caddy with the insides customised to suit whatever they plan to put in it.

CBC JOURNEY 2021

Metalwork students extended their sheetmetal skills by making a toolbox, had their first experience using the metalwork lathes, and designed their own sculpture made entirely out of scrap metal. In Catering, students mostly moved away from snacklike creations and ventured into the realm of cooking meals. The smells coming from the room sent hungry tummies crazy across the school as students cooked dishes such as curries, stir-fry and noodles just to name a few. Practical engineering students continued to develop their design skills through challenges including Ikea-style furniture prototyping, skatepark design and carbon dioxide dragsters. This year for the first time the students entered their CO2 cars in the national competition and were hugely successful with Martae Cupic and Rafajel Tomasich (both in Year 9) winning the A and Outlaw classes respectfully. Year 10 Woodwork students made chairs, mallets, and a personally designed clock, while Metalwork students built another toolbox, a clamp and a rocket stand. Throughout the course, both of these subjects made use of the majority of the vast array of tools and equipment available in the College’s workshops, which prepares students for Year 11 and 12 should they wish to continue with these subjects. Boys in Catering continued to hone their food-making skills, and concluded their culinary journey at CBC by creating some amazing cake decorations. In a more advanced practical engineering course, Year 10 students were involved in complex problems, working collaboratively to

design F1 racers – the big brother of the Year 9 CO2 dragster – designing a holiday house, and more inspiring Ikea-style furniture. In Years 11 and 12, students predominantly choose metals or wood subjects, as they have the intention to move in to apprentice or work situations straight after school. The skills learned in these subjects not only help them with their career path, but also in their life as independent adults. Metals students chose a Certificate II Engineering Pathways studied over two years, which provided an excellent stepping stone, not just to the metal trades, but also to the highly sought after plumbing and electrical trades. Students came away with qualifications from South Metro TAFE, and projects such as vices, clamps, wall art, sculptures, metal-turning projects, and skill displays that can be used as examples in job interviews. Years 11 and 12 Woodwork students were introduced to the world of furniture skills, and students proudly manufactured tables, stools, entertainment and display cabinets, and the fit-out of a kitchen in the back of a 4WD.

VET and workplace learning. MR GARY HART HEAD OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING

As every student ventures on their CBC Fremantle journey, the staff in VET explore each boy’s aspirations and map an individualised and flexible pathway towards entering the world of work. No goal or dream is impossible, it just takes enthusiasm, creativity and hard work.

aspirations. All of our students were invited to a Welcome to Work Day in Term 3, with industry workers and representatives creating an expo in our school gym to show off what WA has to offer and the kinds of careers our boys can pursue.

In 2021 we had 116 students studying a hybrid VET and ATAR pathway and we are exceedingly grateful to the CBC community and local industries for providing places for our boys to engage in workplace learning. Despite the year being impacted by COVID-19, CBC Fremantle students still spent 1,240 hours experiencing the work force.

Coming to the end of their high school journey, Year 12 gentlemen were inundated with university open days, online seminars, deadlines for applications and scholarship information. They were visited by a representative of the Tertiary Institutions Service Centre (TISC), followed by representatives of all five Perth universities – Curtin, ECU, Murdoch, Notre Dame and UWA. At this information evening, students were given the opportunity to ask questions, research potential courses and gather application information. Although they left us at the end of Term 3, careers advice and meetings were available to Year 12 students right up to their enrolment in their chosen courses in 2022.

Along with VET pathways, certificates, work experience and apprenticeships, students were able to plot their career goals alongside course selection meetings, events, expos, university open days and networking with outside organisations. Year 9 students went on the Careers Taster Day excursion where they learned about a day in the life of a university student or an industry worker. Year 10 boys were walked through their goal-setting during their Careers Day, where they broke down their strengths, interests and career aspirations, and plotted pathways to achieve their

I would like to thank the community for supporting our students as they venture on their journey. To the CBC alumni, Parent Auxiliary, families and community businesses that have taken the time to facilitate and provide work placements, the TAFE organisations providing certificate courses and the local businesses that have employed our apprentices in 2021 – I am very grateful for their support. Thank you also to Ms Jennifer Giancaspro and Ms Lisa Speranza for their commitment to our students and helping them to live their dreams.

Twenty young men from the Class of 2021 and 10 Year 11 students obtained apprenticeships during the year. Eightythree Year 12 and 72 Year 11 boys received TAFE qualifications,

SPORT REPORT MR TROY MOLLICA HEAD OF SPORT

At CBC we have once again increased the opportunities available to our boys, allowing as many students as possible to represent the College at a variety of levels with more teams than ever taking part. We pride ourselves on providing a wide range of activities, from participation events through to highly competitive carnivals and weekly fixtures.

increased participation across all years and many competitions having more CBC teams than ever before. We had many successes across the year with a number of SASJ premierships being won by our boys, along with taking out trophies in Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics. By far the most important thing for CBC was getting increased teams competing, and this will be a continued focus for 2022.

We have also added some club options this year, with the Fitness Centre now open from Monday to Wednesday each week and CBC Basketball clinics running on Thursdays in the gym. Along with these options we have also added PSA fixtures into Football, Soccer, Cricket, Water Polo and Basketball with the view that this will enhance the experience for our existing teams, providing a more comprehensive experience for the boys, while also giving more opportunities to others.

The ACC Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics carnivals were the College’s biggest events. A large number of boys were selected to represent us at these carnivals. The swimmers in particular put in a massive effort at both the Quad Meet and ACC Carnival, eager to make up for missing out on their chance to compete in 2020. We can be grateful for a mostly uninterrupted sporting programme this year, with both the Cross Country runners and Athletics teams getting an uninterrupted preparation and carnival in 2021. These athletes, as always, did us proud, giving their all throughout each training session and event.

We are confident that these opportunities will increase during 2022, expanding to more sports and fixtures and giving our boys the best possible sporting experience. We believe that sport at CBC will perfectly complement community Sport and allow our boys the opportunity to develop more than just the physical skills but also confidence, friendships and leadership qualities that can be taken into all areas of school and life. We started 2021 unsure of what the year would hold, with trials for SASJ getting interrupted by another lockdown. We were on our way in Week 2, with trials for our Cricket and Basketball SASJ teams. We recommenced swimming training in Week 3 along with our first SASJ games. It was a busy start and didn’t slow down at any stage across the year, with

We had some outstanding individual performances across the year too, and many students achieved ACC All Star status in the three major carnivals. We once again had an ACC Letterman Award recipient, with Tremayne Mould being acknowledged for his talent in Swimming. Our enthusiastic Year 7 group showed that our future looks bright, with strong performances across all carnivals, this was on show early in the year with our Year 7 swimmers leading the way, breaking a number of records at House and interschool level. The CBC spirit was strong across all carnivals and our

coaches put in many quality hours preparing our athletes for these events – we thank them all for their tireless effort and commitment. We also thank the parents for their support and guidance to our athletes, the teams and athletes could not operate without willing commitment to our sporting programme. We increased our Sport opportunities in 2021 as we acknowledge that competitive sport is not the only option, and physical activity can be offered in a number of ways. There was a consistent number of students filling the Fitness Centre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and attending the Basketball clinics in Term 4. We also had all of our Years 8 and 9 students compete in Rugby, Aussie Rules, Soccer, Ultimate Frisbee and Basketball at the ACC Lightning Carnival. Years 8 and 9 students represented CBC on this day and it was great to see so many boys not only displaying a high level of skill but also setting such high standards in sportsmanship. One of the most impressive things about these days in 2021 was watching our senior students coaching and umpiring all the matches. Unfortunately our Year 7 students missed out on the opportunity to compete in the Lightning Carnival as it was the only event cancelled by restrictions for the year. Congratulations to the following students who were recognised at the awards evening for their commitment to sport: • • • • • •

AFL Football MR JOHN BLACK AFL FOOTBALL COACH

This year the First XVIII football team certainly had its trying moments. After spending Term 4 last year running tryouts and all of the first term in training, this year’s scheduled and highly anticipated Football tour to Melbourne had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. For a while it looked like the Year 12 footballers wouldn’t be able to have one last run in the College colours. However, through some last-minute organisation, the West Australian Football Commission put out expressions of interest to schools who wanted to compete, and CBC once again nominated to be part of WA’s top school competition. Through various injuries and availability issues, we were unable to get our best team on the park this year but the boys

never gave up and gave their all in the games they played. Opportunity often comes in the form of misfortune and through this a record number of Year 10 boys played in the First XVIII and will benefit greatly from the experience. A special mention must go to Jared Filmer (Year 10), Rhys Doig (Year 12) and Captain Jonas Brown (Year 12) on consistently outstanding performances this season. I would also like to thank Mr Scott McDonnell for coaching the side this year, as well as Miss Chloe Lynn and Mr Daniel Kennedy for volunteering to come to Melbourne on tour even with the unfortunate outcome. I would also like to thank all the Year 12 boys for putting in time and effort to the football team over the years.

2021 ACC ATHLETICS

The 2021 Athletics season commenced with the clear goal of making up for a disappointing 2020. Lockdown interruptions and minimal preparation resulted in CBC performing below our best in the 2020 carnival. Our clear goal from the very start of the 2021 season was to have each individual perform their best with each team member driving both themselves and their peers to achieve success. This was demonstrated early on in a clear commitment to training, changed to Tuesday mornings to increase numbers. We started off strongly and had up to 70 students at some sessions. The final squad was cut down to 92 students and they were prepared and ready to perform their best at the ACC carnival on Thursday 16 September. We had many standout performances across the day, but two athletes achieved selection in the ACC All Stars team. They were: • •

Alejandro Larranaga-Boyle (Javelin Open) Ky Hehir (800m and 1500m Under 16s)

We had many other outstanding individual results for the day with more than 45 students finishing in the top three in their events. Ky Hehir was outstanding across the whole day, dominating the field in his 800m and 1500m events. Macsen

Williams (Under 15s) also deserves a special mention, finishing third overall in his category with extremely consistent performances across the day. He finished first in his Hurdles and 100m events and third in his 200m and 800m events. CBC achieved our goal and took out the Overall Boys trophy despite some nervous moments towards the end of the relays. In the Junior boys division we finished 4th and in the senior boys we finished in 3rd position. Unfortunately we finished just 12 points short of regaining our spot back in A Division. This will be a huge motivator for us to work even harder in 2022. We can, however, feel confident that every single athlete gave it their all in 2021 and you can never give more than that. We are extremely proud of all our squad members for 2021 and look forward to working with you all again next year. A huge thank you must go to all the competitors, coaches and parents who made this day possible. The biggest thank you must go to the staff who assisted with training on Tuesday mornings: Mr Daniel Kennedy, Miss Ali Connell, Mr Zach Preston, Mr Ben Shaw , Mr Adryan Winnan, Mr Marco Santalucia, Mr Chris Dix and Mr Raffaele Guadagnino. This year we also had some help from expert coaches Mr Tony Natale (Javelin), Ms Amy Brades (Discus and Shot Put), Mr Benjamin Miller (Sprinting and Relays) and Ms Emma Longstaff (High Jump). We thank them all for their time and effort.

Basketball MS CHLOE SULLIVAN BASKETBALL COACH

It was a year of ups and downs for the Senior Basketball team in 2021, narrowly missing advancing to finals due to a costly final-round loss. The first game of the year was a dominant showing, with Noah Cattalini, Matthew Denny, Samuel Moreno, Max Low and Anthony Macri all impressing in their debut for the Senior team. Providence Christian College did not provide much of a challenge, with the younger members of the squad, Ty Channells and Noah Cattalini, walking off the court with MVP honours in a convincing victory. Round two against Clontarf provided more of a challenge, requiring a full team effort to slog through a difficult first half. In the end, CBC’s performance was too dominant and the boys ran away with the victory. Ty Channells, Griffin Williams and Bronson Cirulis all provided the needed spark in the second half, earning them MVP votes in a game where everyone played their role. Round three saw a slow start resulting in CBC heading into the half down against Lumen Christi College. After a hard battle in the second half, with standout performances from MVPs Ty Channells and Anthony Macri, CBC won by the narrowest of margins, in their most competitive match of the season. A special mention to Cooper Martin, who performed well in his Senior debut. The slow start curse continued in the fourth round against Corpus Christi. The big half-time deficit ultimately proved too much, and not even a fast finish could pull back the win, with CBC losing by three points in a game that should have been won comfortably.

from Griffin Williams, Bronson Cirulis and Anthony Macri were the positives in an otherwise disappointing end to the season. Overall, the Senior team showcased skill and sportsmanship, and were incredibly unlucky to miss out on finals. A special thank you to Mr John Black and Mr Ben Shaw for their coaching expertise. YEAR 10 BASKETBALL Year 10 SASJ started with a difficult selection process, with many boys putting their hand up to give basketball a go. In the end, a talented squad of 11 was selected. The team started the season off slowly, with a big loss to Kennedy Baptist College. This loss was the catalyst for much improvement and, despite a minor hiccup from an undermanned side against Corpus Christi College, the rest of the season was one to be very proud of. The remainder of games gave the many boys the opportunity to showcase their skills. The team was expertly led by Ethan Crifo, who was supported by Ky Hehir, Aiden Herold and Oliver Ruocchio in providing scoring power and Karus Maclean leading the league in blocks. A special mention to Tyson Elward, who went from strength to strength as the season progressed. The season ended on a high, with a commanding win against Ursula Frayne on their home court, leaving the opposition wondering how such a strong group was out of finals contention. Thanks go to Head Coach Mr Troy Mollica, as well as Mr Nicholas Moulton

and Mr Ben Shaw, for their assistance with the team. YEAR 8/9 BASKETBALL A well-balanced team with a good mix of experience and fresh faces saw the Year 8/9 squad head into the season filled with confidence. This confidence proved wellplaced, with the boys dominating most of the competition and making it to the grand final without too much pressure from the opposition. The final game was an arm wrestle, with Lumen Christi College proving to be worthy adversaries. With the home ground advantage in our favour and Alexander Powderly shooting the lights out in the second half, the boys prevailed, running away with the win in the end to find themselves champions. Floor general Noah Kenworthy was a stand-out in the leadership group, as well as Curtis Carrello who provided valuable support from the bench after being struck down with injury. A special mention should be made of Jacob Sweeney and Elliott Webb, who joined the team late after the loss of a few players to injury, and added some real spark. Thank you to Mr Ben Shaw for his expert coaching all season, as well as Mr Troy Mollica for his support with the team. YEAR 7 BASKETBALL The Year 7 Basketball team started with a very well-attended trial, leaving the coaches spoiled for choice to fill the 11 available spots in the final squad. The boys were phenomenal all season. A well-rounded team with plenty of hustle both in offence and defence meant the


boys went through the season undefeated. Particularly strong performances came from Chace Nuku, Conor Bushe-Jones and Darcy Day, who provided not just scoreboard pressure, but strong defence too. After a very successful season, the boys saved the best until last. The grand final was played at CBC against SASJ East Champions Ursula Frayne. The CBC boys held off a late comeback from Ursula Frayne to win by a few points, proving that CBC’s Basketball legacy will continue well into the future. A big thank you goes to coach Mr Nicholas Moulton, who guided the boys all year. ACC CARNIVALS In addition to the SASJ competitions, CBC also entered a number of teams in single day ACC carnivals. In Term 3, four Year 8/9 teams competed in the ACC competition in Rockingham, with Mr Moulton’s team advancing to finals on the day. The coaches – Mr Troy Mollica, Mr Moulton, Mr Ben Shaw and Ms Chloe Sullivan – were ably supported by the senior squad, Ethan Crifo, Matthew Denny, Karus Maclean and Oliver Ruocchio. These boys were an excellent addition to the CBC coaching ranks. In Term 4, two Year 7 teams competed in the ACC competition held in Warwick. In a fantastic display of sportsmanship and skill, the Year 7 boys were an excellent representation of CBC. Thank you to Mr Mollica and Mr Moulton for coaching, and to Ethan Crifo and Matthew Denny for once again assisting.

Cricket MR DANIEL KENNEDY & MR TROY MOLLICA CRICKET COACH AND HEAD OF SPORT After the 2020 Cricket season was ravaged by COVID and slammed to a complete halt after three wins from three games, the 2021 First XI Cricket team was highly motivated to carry on from where they left off the previous season. The fixturing went to our advantage, meaning that we would play all our games at the home of Cricket – Fremantle Park. Round 1 started off with a seven-wicket victory over Corpus Christi College, who reached 65. A strong performance from our prized recruit, Charlie Campo, led to him taking 3/14 off his allotted four overs, and he backed it up with a dashing 19 off 13 balls. Another debutant, Jack Anderson, crafted his way to a well-compiled 24 not out, which saw the boys chalk up their first win of the season. Round 2 began with CBC Fremantle batting first and setting Willetton 136 to win. After losing early wickets, Tony Kolic proved vital, amassing 30 runs to ensure CBC were able to set a relatively competitive total. He was well supported by Jack Anderson, who was riding a wave of confidence as he gathered 28. CBC bowlers were able to build up scoreboard pressure and ensured that runs were hard to come by – as a result, Willetton lost

wickets at critical times. Dylan McHugh led from the front and claimed three for four off his four overs, devasting Willetton’s top order through sheer pace and accuracy. Tristan Jensen and Levi McKay toiled with the ball through the middle overs to claim two wickets of their own. Round 3 saw CBC Fremantle take on Kent Street High School. CBC started poorly and ultimately were outclassed, limping their way to 82 with Tristan Jensen playing his naturally attacking game and producing 22. Kent Street always looked in control, chasing down the target with multiple overs to spare. Levi McKay was a star with the ball, claiming two wickets, while Charlie Campo, Tristan Jensen, Riley Woods and Dylan McHugh all picked up one each. The boys were brave all the way to the end but ultimately the might of Kent Street proved a little too much. In the final round of the 2021 season, CBC Fremantle took on Comet Bay College. We won the toss and decided to bat first, but trouble struck early as wickets were lost and the home side was restricted to 122. Jack Anderson and Charlie Campo crafted their way to 41 and 24 respectively as they both continued their good form. Riley Woods bowled spectacularly, taking three for five off his four overs, but Comet

Bay ultimately secured victory in the final over with a couple of wickets to spare. Overall, the highly anticipated season started with a head full of steam but petered out somewhere towards the second half. The boys showed tremendous commitment, hard work and perseverance throughout, with many strong individual performances. A special congratulations to our debutants – Charlie Campo, Riley Woods, Max Lynn, Jack Prelevich, Darcy Black, Aidan Nigli, Jack Anderson and Lachlan Klingberg. As always, the efforts of Mr Zachary Preston did not go unnoticed, as his passion, knowledge and experience allowed for a successful tournament to go ahead. Finally, the ongoing support from a number of teachers at CBC Fremantle, who spared a moment to watch the boys play a game they love, was very much appreciated by all. JUNIOR CRICKET CBC fielded a Year 7 and Year 8/9 Cricket team in the SASJ competition in Term 1. The Year 7 team was the overall SASJ winners, with a convincing win over Carey Baptist College in the final away game. The Year 8/9 team was also strong, finishing third in the pool and narrowly missing out on a top place playoff. The boys also had an opportunity to represent the College against Scotch College in Term 4, with the Year 8 team beating Scotch by eight wickets. The Year 7 team narrowly lost their match by 10 runs in a close contest. Thankyou to Mr Gary Bailey and Mr Daniel Bateman, our coaches for the year, and Mrs Cat Fry-Walker and Mr Scott McDonnell for helping the teams out when required.

Cross Country MR TROY MOLLICA HEAD OF SPORT Runners rejoiced as a full Cross Country programme was back this year after some events were cancelled in 2020. Running is an opportunity to set a challenge for yourself and work to achieve your goal. Whether it is winning a race, improving your time or just finishing the course without stopping, all students have the opportunity to achieve a goal in Cross Country. Students’ best efforts were on show at our House Carnival in Term 1 and their enjoyment permeated throughout the community. Some fantastic times were achieved on the day and there were many exciting races at the finishing line for various positions. Competition was close all day, with Rice House ultimately triumphing. Following the House Carnival, the Interschool team was selected and training began in earnest. Deftly guided by Mr Daniel Kennedy, Ms Emer Hickey and Mr Jeremy Peris, the team trained twice a week, sometimes braving rain and darkness, to improve themselves and give their best for the College. Students continued training individually over the Term 1 holidays and were rearing to go for the All Schools and ACC Carnivals in Term 2. Team Captains Ky Hehir and Samuel Johnston led by example throughout the training period and on the Interschool carnival days. Ky should also be congratulated for finishing second in the Boys Under 16 category at the ACC Cross Country Carnival, with the third fastest time overall on the day. We also had strong team results, with the Year 9 athletes taking out the Boys Under 15 category and the Year 10 runners finishing third in the Boys Under 16 category. Overall, CBC Fremantle finished sixth, a fantastic result that reflects the team’s discipline, strong work ethic and desire to push each other to achieve their best. It was an exhilarating year for Cross Country at CBC Fremantle, and 2022 looms as an opportunity for all students to set and achieve a new running goal.

Hockey MS SHAYNI NELSON HOCKEY COACH

Winner winner chicken dinner! This year’s First XI Hockey team claimed victory in the ACC challenge in June. This is the second time in the last eight years that the College has won the prestigious competition against other Associated and Catholic Colleges. It is reflective of the talented players we have joining the College from our feeder schools. CBC Fremantle fielded two hockey teams in 2021 that participated in the State School Sport hockey competitions, the David Bell Cup, Ross Meadows Cup, and the ACC Hockey Challenge. This year the First XI consisted of players from Years 8 to 12, which puts us in good stead for future years. Unfortunately, we lose our captain, Cooper Martin, who was one of the reasons we were able to win the championship. If a player of the carnival award was given, Cooper would have won it hands down. He stopped countless attacks by the opposition and then fed his midfield and strikers accurate passes and half-pitch length overheads. If that wasn’t enough, he scored numerous penalty corner goals himself which helped progress the team through the round stages and into the finals.

Cooper was ably assisted by Year 9 Jacob Woods who fought extremely hard all day in the midfield against much older opposition. The team beat both Newman College and Bunbury Cathedral Grammar 1-nil in the round matches before progressing to the next round of the competition. In the

exhausted players were put under more pressure in a penalty shootout. Goalkeeper Noah Preston was superb in goals and managed to save one extra penalty than BCG, which gave us the win. The Junior team participated in the South of the River division in the Ross Meadows Cup. The eventual winner was Como Senior High School which was expected given they are the state hockey school. However, they were beaten by Shenton College in the overall final.

“CBC Fremantle fielded two hockey teams in 2021 that participated in the State School Sport hockey competitions, the David Bell Cup, Ross Meadows Cup, and the ACC Hockey Challenge.”

cross-over semi-final we beat long-time rival John XXIII College 1-nil to progress through to the gold medal match against Bunbury Grammar. The final was a thrilling affair, with both teams unable to score in regular and extra time. This meant the

I would like to thank our graduating Year 12 players for their efforts and support of the CBC Hockey programme during their time at the College. Joseph Bunn, Finn Newcombe, Cooper Martin and Jayden Johnson committed themselves on the pitch to give their personal best and also be role models for the younger players. Thanks also to supporting coaches Ms Emer Hickey and Mr Mike Pickford. I really enjoyed coaching with you.

Soccer MR ALEX HALL SOCCER COACH

SENIOR SOCCER Our Senior Soccer boys entered the ACC Champion schools again in 2021, but this time they could only be part of a one-day carnival. This was a shame but the boys still put their best foot forward, narrowly losing the final.The boys were drawn to play Emmanuel Catholic College in the first knockout round, losing 2–1 in a very close contest. It was a disappointing finish to the season for the boys but they certainly gave it their best shot. Thank you to Mr Daniel Bateman, who coached the team, and Ms Lisa Speranza, who was the team manager. Thank you also to all helpers and players this year, we look forward to another great year in 2022. YEAR 8/9 SOCCER The Year 8/9 Soccer team had an outstanding season in 2021. They remained undefeated in all games played, scored numerous goals and conceded very few. On two occasions they dominated to such an extent that the number of goals scored was in double digits. The team demonstrated excellent teamwork, determination, spirit and organisation in all games. The contest against Seton Catholic College was the tightest game of all – the boys demonstated perseverance and a will to win by holding on for a 3–2 victory. Throughout the season the boys exhibited poise, cooperation and school spirit. The boys trained every Thursday morning and this preparation for games enabled the team to gel, coordinate and organise their play. Sessions were always well attended with each individual eager to learn and enhance their skills.

Antony Teixeira captained the team throughout the season, showing excellent leadership on and off the pitch. Standout players included Leonardo Vicoli and Dean Stirling. Overall, the boys were excellent ambassadors for the College and I wish them every success in the future. JUNIOR AND INTERMEDIATE SOCCER This year we had an increased number of teams participating in the SSWA competitions, with two teams playing in the Year 7/8 competition and one in the Year 9/10 competition. All teams worked hard across the season and improved quickly against some

impressive opposition. Teams had mixed results but our most impressive group was our Year 7 team, who played off in the final for the SSWA Junior Boys Shield held at Dalmatinac Park on Monday 13 September. The boys improved so much across the season and the loss of that game is not a reflection of their effort. The team had some impressive wins to make it to the big dance. Thank you to Mr Alec Robinson, who coached the Year 9/10 team, and Mr Gary Bailey and Mr John Hortense, who coached the Year 7/8 teams. Thank you also to Mr Alec Robinson and Mr Daniel Bateman for coaching the Year 7 teams when required.

Surfing MR TROY MOLLICA HEAD OF SPORT

The CBC Surfing season started during Term 2, with large numbers attending earlymorning sessions. This was followed early in Term 3 with the CBC surf team selections. From this competition, we selected 23 students to represent the College in the State School Surfing Competition held on Tuesday 17 August. All of the boys gave it their all, performing to the best of their ability with some outstanding rides on the day. Kelly Rawlings, Vincent Robertson and Joe Elliott-Tideman made it through to the finals but were unable to make it through to the ultimate prize against some strong opposition. Thank you to Mr Chris Dix, who ran the Surfing team in 2021, along with Miss Meghan Simons, Mr David Von Felton and Mr John Black, who helped with training and competition. We also sadly say farewell to Kelly Rawlings and Joe Elliott-Tideman, who have both been outstanding contributors to the Surfing programme over their time at the College. Good luck for the future, gentlemen.

Swimming MR TROY MOLLICA HEAD OF SPORT

The 2021 swimming season commenced in Term 1, Week 2 at Fremantle Pool. Big numbers attended Tuesday and Thursday training with students trying their best to achieve selection in our interschool team. All swimmers were shaping up well and were prepared for their first challenge of the year – the House Carnival. HOUSE SWIMMING CARNIVAL The House competition was held on Friday 26 February at HBF Stadium. With growing numbers at CBC there were increased opportunities for students to compete for their House. We added 40 new events across both pools for the day, making the programme jam-packed. The day worked to perfection with all events running smoother than we could have imagined, and plenty of fun was had across the day in both pools. The annual water displacement competition is always popular and creates lots of excitement, firing everyone up just before the relay teams hit the water. It was all smiles in Rice House as Mr Jeremy Peris guided his swimmers to a narrow victory over Patrick, who had eyes on the trophy for the second year running. It was a tight tussle all day, with Rice just ahead for most of the event. Patrick edged closer just before the relays began but Rice prevailed, displaying impressive depth with their Freestyle relay teams. We were blown away by the high standard of performances this year, especially with our Year 7 CBC boys. Overall we had four records broken during the day. The new CBC records are as follows: • Jack Woods 50m Breaststroke • Thomas Woodrow Freestyle • Declan Mould Backstroke • Lachlan Ross Butterfly

ACC SWIMMING CARNIVAL On Wednesday 24 March, 65 swimmers represented the College at the ACC A Division Carnival. The boys were excited by the opportunity to once again compete after missing out on the 2020 carnival. CBC performed well throughout the day with an amazing team effort. A great example of this was our Junior Medley team, which broke the record in the 4 x 50m medley relay, completing the swim in a time of 2.05.86. There were also some outstanding individual swimmers during the day, the highlight being Jack Woods who broke the U/13 50m Breastroke record (36.64). We had three boys challenging for the top swimmer in their age category: • Jack Woods (Champion U/13) • Harrison Alliss (Runner Up U/16) • Declan Mould (3rd Place U/15) While our individual performances were celebrated, it was the whole team effort that secured the ultimate reward, with CBC taking away a clean sweep of all three trophies on offer. We finished first in the Junior Boys (366 points, 60 points clear), first in the Senior Boys (335 points, 45 points clear) and first in the Overall Boys (701 points, 105 points clear). It was a great reward for the many hours of training, starting in December 2020 on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Thank you to Mr John Rear and Mr Garry Hart for coaching the team, and Mrs Karen Spence for feeding the swimmers after every training session. Thank you also to all the parents who dropped the boys off at the pool and supported the team throughout the entire season.

QUAD MEET After the House Carnival was complete it was a quick turnaround to prepare our swimmers for the Quad Meet held on Thursday 4 March at HBF Stadium. This is always a big test for our CBC swimmers as they get the opportunity to race against some top PSA swimmers from Hale, Guildford Grammar and Aquinas. This is also a great chance for swimmers to show the coaches their best performances as it is a major chance to see who has what it takes to be in our final ACC squad. The CBC boys competed exceptionally well, showing a strong performance across the evening. CBC had strong places in many of the events, dominating the lower year groups throughout the night. Our Year 7 boys broke three Quad Meet records, putting in outstanding efforts in all events. The new records were as follows: • Jack Woods • Sebastian Shivak Jett Abbott Lachlan Ross Jack Woods • Jett Abbott Rhiley Olbromski Lachlan Ross Jack Woods

Year 7 50m Breaststroke Year 7 50m Medley Relay

Year 7 50m Freestyle Relay

Hale School won the meet but CBC was not far behind, finishing second overall and beating Aquinas College and Guildford Grammar in an impressive display. Overall it was an outstanding team effort on the night, giving CBC our best result of recent years. The night, however, belonged to our youngest competitors, who turned heads with their record-breaking performances. The future of CBC swimming is certainly bright in their hands. Thank you to all of the staff who made the 2021 season possible, none more so than Mr Garry Hart and Head Swimming Coach Mr John Rear, who both gave their time and expertise each Tuesday and Thursday morning, Thank you also to Canteen Manager, Mrs Karen Spence, who arrives at work early to feed the swimmers.

One group from each Carnival made it through to the semi-final playoff.

Volleyball MS TAVIA PURSELL VOLLEYBALL COACH

This year we had many of our previous players sign up and there was a keen sense of enthusiasm from the beginning. We also welcomed the new additions of Year 10 students Karus Maclean and Hayden White, and Year 9 students Oliver Garvey and Alexander Harris. In our first game against Seton College there was plenty of comradery and excitement, especially when we learned that one of our former players, Jacob Wearing (who had defected to Seton), would now be playing against us! Even though CBC played quite competitively in the first set, it was clear our team was a little rusty. However, the boys came through with the goods in the second set, which they won definitively. Unfortunately, we still lost the game, but it was a thrilling start to the season.

There was certainly a buzz in the air leading up to our second game against Emmanuel Catholic College, but it was clear the boys were in for a challenge. Our rivals were very competitive, which was not surprising given they were coached by another defector – Mr Justin Leech – who had begun his new role at Emmanuel. Unfortunately, they were too good for us, even though it was a tight game at times. In games three and four, against Corpus Christi and Kennedy Baptist Colleges respectively, the boys tried their very hardest but were outclassed by skillful opponents. Nonetheless, we received some positive feedback from the other teams and their coaches about our sportsmanship and the perseverance of our boys, who kept playing hard no matter what numbers were on the scoreboard. It was a pity that by the end

of the season we did not have a game under our belt but there were definitely a few winning sets and many close calls. A few special mentions this year go to our unofficial team captain, Luke Farinola, who always kept everyone enthused and motivated; Tyson Elward, Oliver Garvey and Alexander Harris, who made some impossibly fast and effective moves to keep the ball in play; and Lewis Anson and Fergus Schipf-Randell, who always put their bodies on the line. A very special thanks to Mr Troy Mollica for organising the buses and to Miss Ali Connell for supporting the team as assistant coach, team scorer and for attending every match. Thanks also to all the parents who came to the Indoor Beach Volleyball Centre in O’Connor to cheer on the boys – their support is very much appreciated.

Water Polo MR TROY MOLLICA HEAD OF SPORT

Water Polo had an incredible season, with a victory in the SSWA Year 9/10 Water Polo competition at HBF Stadium. The boys outperformed their competition, going through the day undefeated. In the end, the boys defeated John XXIII 9–1 with a dominant display of skills and sportsmanship to take the shield. Confirming our boys’ love of Water Polo, CBC had a total of three teams competing on the day, which was more than any other school. Team B took out fourth place and Team C performed well all day, ending up third. The teams played twice on the day, with overtime required to split the two for final placings. It was an incredible effort and we all would like to thank Mrs Danielle MacDonald and Mr John Black for their assistance during the day, and a very special thank you to Clancy Dewar and Kelly Rawlings for coaching the boys.

SHORTCUTS Justice and Solidary • Term 2

25 April On Anzac Day, Josh Louthean (Year 11) shared the story of his great-greatgrandfather William (Bill) John Jackson, who was one of an estimated 13 Noongar men who landed at Gallipoli during World War I. Josh is pictured here with his grandmother and Bill’s granddaughter, Kathy.

3 May Looking for something to brighten up your day? How about these fantastic Hundertwasserinspired self-portraits, created by our Year 7 Visual Art students.

6 May Always a fun day, our wonderful community joined together to celebrate the life and legacy of our founder, Blessed Edmund Rice.

14 May 18 May

Our boys celebrated Mother’s Day with special events that honoured the special women in their lives.

Looks like our musicians had a fantastic time at Music Camp. The annual celebration of music provides an invaluable opportunity for intensive rehearsals, while also facilitating the building of strong friendships between musicians of all years.

20 May There was some fierce competition during the RE Week Amazing Race for our senior students, as gentlemen raced around the grounds to find the answers to six cleverly crafted puzzles. Congratulations to the winning team, and all who participated.

26 May To mark National Sorry Day, we gathered in the Cloisters to share in a moving smoking ceremony and Welcome to Country, performed by Noongar elders. Earlier in the morning, our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and their families also shared a meal together as part of a flag-raising ceremony.


9 June With an ever-growing number of students riding their bikes to school, Mr Burgio had the important job of opening our brand new bike shelter. A big thank you to our Maintenance and Ecology teams who made this happen.

10 June Our Year 9 boys had a fantastic time learning more about Fremantle (Walyalup), with a special working excursion through our port city. The gentlemen spent time exploring the Fremantle Army Museum, before spending some a bit at Monument Hill and Fremantle Prison, getting a hands-on look at what they’ve been learning about in class.

2 June We held our inaugural Solidarity Walk to mark the end of National Reconciliation Week. The event encouraged boys and their families to consider how they can take steps towards reconciliation, while also providing the opportunity to take in Walyalup’s natural beauty and reflect on the special bond the Whadjuk people share with the land.

11 June The latest group of boys to join our Adopt-a-Beach programme had a great time at South Beach, planting hundreds of saplings over the course of an afternoon. Great work, gentlemen.

30 June Last week, Jack Brazier (Year 7) was recognised for his outstanding creative thinking when he won the Best Entry in Years 5 to 6 in the 2020 Game Changer Awards. The Awards give students in Years 3 to 10 the opportunity to showcase their solutions to the world’s challenges. Jack’s award-winning idea was to create an app to help sailors rig their sailing ships in different conditions. Outstanding work, Jack.

28 June Our Year 11 and 12 Visual Art students had a fantastic time in the city, spending time at both the Art Gallery of Western Australia and PICA.

Symbols of our journey. THOMAS DARK YEAR 12 GRADUATION ADDRESS

For those of you who knew me in primary school, you would know I have a temper. You may recall my tantrums throughout Year 3, which would lead to me running around the school pursued by a posse of teachers. You may have heard I had many disagreements with the principal that didn’t end very well for me. From throwing apples on the roof of the church and breaking a window to constantly yelling out and distracting everyone in my class, I ensured my voice of disobedience and outrage was heard through these frequent sly acts of insubordination and defiance. It was not until CBC that I learned how to process my emotions and deal with challenges in a healthy way. Here I learned about the importance of mindset. I learned that it was up to me to shift my mindset from that of a child, to one of an adult. I learned how to use my voice – not lose it, but really use it to express myself in a more healthy and positive way. I learned that the people around you are your best allies when you are struggling, and that it is easier to process things with others than alone. I clearly had a lot to learn, and fortunately CBC provided me with many opportunities to build the skills to do this learning.

180

spotlight shone on my negative attitudes and behaviours, I had attention on me for all the wrong reasons. But for me, at the time I felt that’s somewhere I belonged. I recognise that the teachers who were unfortunate enough to have me at the start of my CBC journey, when I still had that spotlight firmly planted on the wrong area, would remember me as a nightmare and are probably confused as to why I am on stage right now. In all honesty I am very fortunate to be standing here. In Years 7 and 8 I was still that boy. I was disruptive in class, I was disrespectful to teachers, I was constantly caught in Fremantle frequenting the shops and doing the wrong thing. The catalyst for the shifting of the spotlight onto my positive attitudes and behaviours began in Year 10, when I was still acting out, when I made the choice to avoid handing in uncompleted homework by jumping out of a classroom window.

It took time and work, but with the guidance of the school’s morals and values, and the patience and guidance of my teachers, I was able to overcome my ruthless temper.

After this, I had a very open conversation with Mr Bailey where he suggested that I might be going down the wrong path and I was wasting the potential I had. It was at this moment I realised that I had strengths and talents that I wasn’t taking advantage of. It was through Mr Bailey’s guidance that I found that I could contribute more to my community and myself. I also found that my previous distaste towards Mr Bailey was underserving.

The symbol for my speech is a spotlight. I recognise in my younger years the

This was the first time I really felt the need for the spotlight to start to shift.

CBC JOURNEY 2021

At the end of Year 11 I was privileged enough to be invited to attend the Kairos retreat. I was sceptical of attending, not being a particularly religious person and Kairos appearing to be a very religious retreat, but I remembered Mr Burgio’s words, “No matter where you are on your faith journey, you can still display the attributes of Jesus.” Kindness, care, compassion and empathy – this is where I was wanting to shift the spotlight, so I gave it a go. At Kairos I was in the group run by Mrs Schmidt and Mr Silveira. They, along with the other boys in my group’ confirmed the message Mr Bailey taught me a year prior. They recognised that not only did I have strengths and gifts, but I was now using them for all the right reasons. My spotlight had shifted. I found it was much easier to come to school everyday and create bonds with people when I was under this spotlight. In response, I put more effort into my school work and watched as my marks increased drastically. I was a better man when under this spotlight. made a commitment to honour myself and my family to uphold those gifts that I have. I would like to extend a final thanks to all my friends, teachers and a special thanks to my mum Julie, my dad Steve, my stepmum Zoe and my stepdad Chris for supporting me through my CBC journey and helping me find my spotlight. I could not have done it without you. Right: Thomas Dark at Graduation.

CBC JOURNEY 2021


Throughout my adolescence, I’ve been ever-intrigued by the way that art can represent different ideas, emotions, and aspects of life. Despite not studying art at school for the past couple of years, it has remained one of my passions and I still remember the elements and principles of art. So naturally, when asked to write a speech on a symbol that represented my journey through CBC, I thought of a painting, which is constructed with these elements and principles. A piece of art, like a person, is unique. Everyone’s painting looks different, and not everyone’s painting is in the same medium – just like how we all came to Year 7 from different schools, from different families and from different backgrounds. At this point, we were blank canvases, not sure of what was ahead of us. It was daunting; the unknown. We did gain some idea of what a finished painting could look like from the Year 12 boys who stood in the guard of honour to welcome us to the school. I personally had a greater vision of these fine examples of CBC gentlemen as my oldest brother, Jack, was among them. My brother and his cohort were confident, hard-working leaders of the school who seemed to have it all figured out: school, the future, life. This, we now know from first-hand experience, was far from the truth. But nevertheless, they instantly caught our attention. We saw these brilliant pieces of art, sure, but we had no idea of how they turned from little Year 7s like us, to the young men we saw at the back of the gym. That, we had to find out for ourselves. There are five elements and principles of art which I found related most to our journey through the school: Harmony, Line and Shape, Colour, Balance, and Movement. HARMONY If there’s one principle of art that I could relate most to the school, it is a sense of harmony, which is achieved when the elements of an artwork come together in a unified way.

We found belonging in the school. We found harmony with friends, peers and teachers. We found a warm feeling of inclusiveness; a feeling of community that told us, “You are safe here”. In Mentor, we had the opportunity to see students from other years whose paintings were still works in progress. To be able to mingle and form bonds with students both older and younger was such an important part of developing our sense of belonging at the school. Along with Jack, I was also lucky enough to have my other brother, Daniel, in my Mentor, who would’ve had a sook if I mentioned Jack and not him. Mentor also gave us our Mentor teachers, who were there for us if we made an incorrect brush stroke, like a failed test or if we had to have a meeting with Head of House. They helped us correct our mistakes, they helped us regain our harmony. LINE AND SHAPE At school, we were given the opportunities to find and refine the big bold shapes and the smaller details of our paintings, which describe the different parts of our identity that make us who we are. These took the form of the things we enjoy – our passions. Whether it be sports, arts, music or academics the school gave us ample opportunity to pursue and develop these, and by extension; our identities. Also, the shapes of our values and attitudes were circumscribed by the lines drawn by Mr Burgio, as we were taught about the necessity of kindness, and love for the other. COLOUR The colours of our painting, made of hue, value, and intensity. These convey our emotions throughout our journey. Some of our canvases, including mine, have areas of dark, low-value colours where we may have felt blue, hopeless, or worthless, but these can’t be mentioned without the contrast of the bright, vibrant pigments which we were guided to by our friends, our families and the constant support from the school and our teachers.

BALANCE Balance, which is the combining of elements, to add a feeling of equilibrium or stability to a work of art, is also important in any stage of life. This is why it was urgent to master it sooner rather than later. It wasn’t like primary school, where we had lifts to school every day. When it was our parent’s fault if we were late. Now it was on us. We had to balance homework, tests, sports, sleep, family, friends (some of us, girlfriends). Some of us had more success than others and most, if not all, of us are still seeking that perfect state of equilibrium. But while we may not have reached it yet, we’ve definitely been set on the right path. MOVEMENT Believe it or not, movement is a principle in painting, and it creates the look and feel of action that guides the viewer’s eye through the work of art. As we progressed through our years, we moved and changed into the people we are now. At the start of Year 7, the last thing I would think I’d be doing is speaking in front of such a big crowd. Our time here has given us the opportunity to grow and develop, physically and mentally, to build confidence and create relationships with peers and staff that we will never forget. I know personally that each relationship I’ve established has had and will continue to have a different and significant impact on the person that I am today. Finally, I want to note, once again, that every single one of our paintings is different. And that is how it should be. You may have made a few incorrect brush strokes along the way, or some colour may have leaked into the wrong spot. But no matter what your painting looks like at the end of Year 12, it is finished now, and so is our journey at the school. Now, you can hang it on the wall, and hopefully, at some point in the future, look back and smile with pride at a painting of a CBC gentleman.

COLLEGE BALL The College Ball is more that just an opportunity to get dressed up; it is also an important rite of passage for Year 12 students as they begin to prepare for life as an adult.

celebrating with adult behaviours like maturity and respect. It’s a night that we can enjoy with each other as a whole year group for one of the last times before we graduate. Cherish it.”

Held in the iconic Fremantle Esplanade Hotel Sirius Room, the Gatsby-themed tables, sweeping ceiling lighting and one of Western Australia’s largest ballroom dancefloors was a fitting tribute to the occasion.

A buffet dinner was served during the evening – always a favourite with the young men – and was followed by the CBC tradition of formal dancing. With Mrs Keely Laing and Miss Emily Bowran prompting them, the couples showed off the moves they had been perfecting at lessons in the gym as they danced the cha cha, square rumba, and the very tricky jive.

College Captain Dylan McHugh set the right message for the evening, with his welcome address to his friends and their special guests: “Tonight earmarks a significant rite of passage where we gather as one,

While also a lot of fun, the ballroom dancing lessons develop skills that will last a lifetime for the young men and women.

After dessert and a final dancing bracket, the young men and women partied the night away as the DJ played their favourite tunes, taking breaks and resting their feet in between while reminiscing about their now years-long friendships. The evening celebrates the attributes of the CBC gentleman, but particularly gives students an opportunity to demonstrate positive relationships with women and their peers. It is hoped the evening will live on in the young men and women’s memories for decades to come, and provide a fitting tribute to their final years at CBC.
